Ironically evangelicals are now more favorable of the ethnostate of Israel than the supposed benefactors. “Supposed” because it’s trivial to see Jewish folk are not made safer by the existence of Israel.
Still, this supposes that a majority opinion gives carte blanche to antisemitic dog whistles about supposed dual loyalty, etc. It’s shameful to lump in some folks who are vehemently opposed to the genocide as willing participants. The polling mostly has just shown that people who get their news from zionist networks tend to be more zionist, but even then over time that dam is breaking. Unfortunately the media environment and powers that be provide an outsized influence compared to reality on the ground in a place the people polled don’t live.
The 2025 Pew Research poll was already quoted by the article I linked. It went from 73 to 64% but you’re interpreting “positive view” as “should exist”.Which accompanying polls show is not the same at all.
It’s closer to 64% https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2026/04/07/negative-views-of-israel-netanyahu-continue-to-rise-among-americans-especially-young-people/

American Jews are less Zionist than most Jews worldwide that much is true and is pointed out by the article itself.
