(JTA) \u2014 The share of Israelis who believe that Israel\u2019s security is a central consideration of President Donald Trump fell to a record low as Democratic support for Israel in the U.S. continued to decline, according to two new polls Tuesday.\n<\/p>\n

A new poll from the Israel Democracy Institute<\/a> found that, amid widening disagreements in Israel<\/a> over U.S. efforts to broker a new nuclear deal with Iran, the share of Israelis who believe Trump prioritizes Israel\u2019s security had seen a \u201ccollapse\u201d from 44% in May to 28% in June, pollsters said.\n <\/p>\n

The survey, which polled 603 Jewish respondents and 151 Arab respondents from June 28 to July 1, found that among Jewish respondents, the belief that Israel can fully rely on Trump has plummeted by 38 points between March and June 2026.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Just over one-third of Israelis said they believed Israel\u2019s strategic security situation is better today than it was before the war with Iran. The margin of error was 3.57 percentage points.<\/p>\n

Another survey released Tuesday, conducted by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research<\/a> from June 11 to 17, added to a growing number of polls<\/a> showing waning support for Israel among U.S. adults.<\/p>\n

The AP poll, which surveyed 3,040 people, including 1,022 Jewish adults, found that 40% of U.S. adults believe America is \u201ctoo supportive\u201d of Israelis, while 39% believe the U.S. is \u201cnot supportive enough\u201d of Palestinians. While the survey included a large sampling of Jewish adults to allow for more reliable estimates of their opinions, the survey was weighted to ensure their views weren\u2019t overrepresented in the findings, the pollsters said.<\/p>\n

Among Democrats, the poll found that 58% now say the U.S. is \u201ctoo supportive\u201d of Israelis, up from 45% in an AP-NORC poll in January 2024.<\/p>\n

The share dropped among Republicans, of which just 21% said they believed the U.S. was \u201ctoo supportive\u201d of Israelis. The share of Republicans who say the U.S. is \u201cnot supportive enough\u201d of Israel has shrunk from 39% to 15% since 2024.<\/p>\n

It also found that a third of American Jewish adults believe that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, while another 49% said that it has not.<\/p>\n

Among U.S. adults overall, the poll found that about one-third believe Israel has committed genocide, including roughly half of Democrats.<\/p>\n

The poll also found that the favorability of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was split. It found that, among U.S. adults, 38% have an unfavorable view of Netanyahu, while just 28% of U.S. adults have an unfavorable opinion of Mamdani.<\/p>\n

Among Jewish adults, about 6 in 10 view Netanyahu unfavorably, while just 39% view Mamdani negatively and 44% view the New York City mayor positively.<\/p>\n

For the AP poll, the margin of error for adults overall was 2.8 percentage points, and the margin of error for Jewish adults was 5.0 percentage points.
