A recent Pew Survey shows that 10% fewer Republicans support Israel in the wake of the October 7, 2023 clash between Gaza and the Netanyahu government. The shift comes as U.S. views on Israel shift negatively, with 53% of Americans showing an unfavorable view of the country.

The results are according to a Pew Research Center survey from March 24-30, 2025, which found that 53% of U.S. adults view Israel unfavorably.

The study, published April 8, 2025, shows 45% hold favorable views. In March 2022, 42% of U.S. adults viewed Israel unfavorably. Among Republicans, 61% view Israel favorably in 2025.

In 2022, 71% of Republicans held favorable views. Unfavorable views among Republicans rose from 27% in 2022 to 37% in 2025. This marks a 10% decline in Republican support over three years.

The drastic reduction in support for Israel in America comes after two years of protracted offensive attacks by the IDF in Gaza, killing as many as 13,000 children in Gaza, and injuring as many as 25,000 Gazan children, according to the Associated Press.

On April 1, 2024, Israeli drone strikes killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza, who were traveling in a coordinated convoy marked with the charity’s logo.

The survey reports 69% of Democrats view Israel unfavorably in 2025. Among Democrats aged 18-49, 71% hold unfavorable views. Democrats aged 50 and older show 65% unfavorable views. Republicans aged 18-49 have 50% unfavorable views. Republicans aged 50 and older report 56% favorable views. Very unfavorable views among all U.S. adults increased from 10% in 2022 to 19% in 2025.

In January 2024, 65% of Americans rated the Israel-Hamas conflict as personally important. In March 2025, 54% found it important. Republicans aged 50 and older show 67% rating the conflict as significant. Republicans under 50 report 47% viewing it as important. Democrats overall have 57% rating the conflict important. Younger Republicans show 17% uncertainty about its importance. Older Republicans show 9% uncertainty.

The survey finds 48% of Democrats support a Palestinian state. Republicans show 44% favoring Israeli control over Gaza. Regarding U.S. aid, 44% of Democrats prefer less military support for Israel. Only 28% of Republicans agree with reducing aid. The survey includes 10,707 U.S. adults. Its margin of error is ±1.4 percentage points.
