Netanyahu wins high marks from Republicans, though Democrats less enthusiastic

A new Gallup poll released today finds little change in Americans’ feelings toward Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who scores high marks from Republicans but is much less liked by Democrats.

According to the poll, 37 percent of Americans have a favorable view of Netanyahu, as opposed to 29% who view him unfavorably. Another 22% of respondents haven’t heard of Netanyahu and 13% have no opinion.

This was little changed from a 2015 Gallup survey, when 38% of Americans said they had a favorable view of Netanyahu, and 29% said they viewed him unfavorably.

Among Republicans, 64% told Gallup they view Netanyahu favorably, far higher than the 17% of Democrats who feel likewise.
