This Is BAD NEWS For Israel...

Jul 26, 2026

US public opinion has turned sharply against Israel, bad news for Israel and its supporters in Washington but a sign of shifting politics.

  • Israel's net favorability with Americans is now negative across every major poll, a huge swing from strongly positive eight years ago.
  • The shift is broad, not just among Democrats โ€” independents and much of the general public have soured too.
  • The war in Gaza and Israel's strikes around the region, spread widely on social media with fewer filters, are driving the change.
  • Anger over money and jobs at home feeds resentment that so much US aid and attention goes to a foreign war.
  • Most of the world polls negative on Israel too, and even inside Israel only a third see Netanyahu as the best leader.

Outlook: Support keeps sliding, but Trump has two more years and the US stays tied to the Iran conflict, so policy is unlikely to change soon.
