Poll shows 54% of US Jews have favorable view of Israeli government

According to the new Pew poll, a majority of Jewish adults — 54 percent — hold a favorable view of Israel’s government versus 44% with an unfavorable view.

Among all Americans, the poll says 41% have a favorable view and 51% unfavorable.

The survey was conducted last month, but its release comes days after US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer gave a speech calling on Israel to hold new elections to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, saying he was speaking for “so many mainstream Jewish Americans — a silent majority.”
