A general note on the survey period:\u00a0<\/span>Data was collected between October 16 and 20, on the heels of a month in which an agreement between Israel and Hamas was signed with the mediation of the US, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey. The agreement included the release of all hostages, the release of hundreds of Palestinian security prisoners, a cessation of hostilities, an Israeli withdrawal to agreed lines within Gaza, and stepped-up entry of humanitarian aid into the Strip. The agreement was signed as the first stage in a broader plan by US President Donald Trump. Trump visited Israel after it was signed, followed by a sequence of visits by senior US administration officials \u2013 including Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and others.<\/p>\n
\nThe Ceasefire Agreement and the Release of Hostages<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
A large majority of JPPI\u2019s Voice of the Jewish People respondent panel (73%) supports the Trump peace plan. Fewer than a tenth (8%) oppose it, and a fifth (19%) don\u2019t know whether they support or oppose it. Support rises as one moves rightward on the liberal-conservative ideological spectrum: support stands at half (52%) among \u201cstrong liberal\u201d respondents, and reaches three-quarters (78%) among \u201cstrong conservative\u201d respondents. Among those who identify as \u201ccenter\u201d and \u201clean conservative,\u201d support is especially high \u2013 83% and 86% respectively. The plan is relatively popular among conservative and centrist respondents, and less so among their liberal counterparts. One plausible explanation is the plan\u2019s association with President Trump, who has little support among liberals. A similar pattern appears when broken down by voting pattern: 85% of Trump voters support the plan, compared with 65% of Harris voters. The undecided share is higher among Harris voters \u2013 26% don\u2019t know whether they support the plan or not \u2013 versus 10% of Trump voters.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/11-2.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nMost respondents (54%) think the main credit for the hostage-release deal between Israel and Hamas belongs to President Trump. Seven percent believe the credit belongs to Prime Minister Netanyahu, and the same share gives the credit to the region\u2019s Arab leaders. A tenth think none of the listed actors deserve the credit, and an eighth did not know how to answer. A negligible share said the credit belongs to Hamas leaders or the UN.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/12-3.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nAs one moves rightward along the liberal-conservative ideological spectrum, the share believing that the main credit belongs to President Trump rises. While roughly a third (30%) of the strong liberal cohort believes this, three-quarters of conservatives do. A similar, though smaller, pattern emerges regarding Prime Minister Netanyahu: just 1% of the strong liberal cohort thinks he deserves the main credit for the deal, compared with 16% of the strong conservative group. Among liberals, a large share either didn\u2019t know how to answer (21% of strong liberals and 14% of those who lean liberal) or thought that none of the listed actors deserves the main credit (15% and 10% respectively).<\/p>\n
Whereas most (76%) Trump voters think he deserves most of the credit for the hostages\u2019 release, fewer than half (42%) of Harris voters think so. The share of Harris voters who didn\u2019t know how to answer (16%) is three times that of Trump voters (5%).<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/13-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nA third of the Jews surveyed (36%) believe Israel won the war against Hamas; half (50%) think that Israel neither won nor lost; and a tenth (10%) believe Israel lost. There is a clear link between political orientation and perceptions of the war\u2019s outcome. Among conservative respondents, a majority think Israel won \u2013 half (53%). By contrast, only a fifth (18%) of the strong liberal cohort believes Israel won; a majority (57%) think the war ended without a clear victor. Among those identifying as centrist, opinions are split almost evenly between those who think Israel won (44%) and those who think there was no clear victor (45%). A breakdown by voting pattern mirrors this gap: half (50%) of Trump voters believe Israel won the war, compared with a quarter (26%) of Harris voters, most of whom (58%) see the outcome as inconclusive.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/14-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nCompared with the attitudes of Jewish Israelis, the share who think Israel won is quite similar; the share who think it lost is smaller; and the share who think Israel neither won nor lost is much larger. JPPI data in Israel was collected shortly before the ceasefire and shows a sense of victory among less than half of Jewish Israelis, and a sense of defeat felt by a quarter to a third. A Kantar Insights survey conducted two weeks after the ceasefire took effect found that among the overall Israeli public (including Arabs) 37% think Israel won, 34% think it lost, and 29% answered \u201cdon\u2019t know\u201d (results published in Israel Hayom).<\/p>\n
Assessing Leadership in Israel and the United States<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
A majority of JPPI\u2019s Voice of the Jewish People respondent panel (61%) rate Prime Minister Netanyahu\u2019s leadership negatively (fair + poor); 37% rate it positively (excellent + good). A parallel question was asked in a September Washington Post poll of US Jews: 68% rated Netanyahu\u2019s leadership negatively and 31% rated it positively. The small gap between the two surveys may reflect the panel\u2019s composition or the timing of data collection (the Washington Post poll was conducted before the Israel-Hamas agreement was signed, JPPI\u2019s survey was conducted after).<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/15-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nBroken down by ideological orientation, most conservatives rate Netanyahu\u2019s leadership of Israel as excellent or good, while most liberals and centrists view it as fair or poor. A breakdown by voting pattern also indicates a clear polarization: 85% of Trump voters rated Netanyahu\u2019s leadership positively, compared with only 12% of Harris voters. Two-thirds of Harris voters (67%) rated his leadership as poor.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/16-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nMost Voice of the Jewish People panel participants rate Trump\u2019s leadership as poor, and a tenth (9%) call it fair. Conversely, a third (35%) see his leadership positively (good or excellent). Among strong liberal respondents, almost all (96%) rated Trump\u2019s leadership as poor; among strong conservative respondents, the picture is reversed \u2013 95% rate his leadership positively (65% excellent and 30% good). Among those who lean conservative, a majority (77%) view his leadership positively, versus a negative majority among those who lean liberal (88%). Broken down by voting pattern, 95% of Trump voters rated his leadership positively, compared with 3% Harris voters. This data illustrates the deep polarization of US Jews regarding Trump\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/17-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nVoice of the Jewish People panel participants rate Trump\u2019s global leadership slightly more positively than his leadership of the US. Still, half (49%) view his global leadership as poor, 14% see it as fair, and a little over a third (37%) view it positively (good or excellent).<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/18-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nHere, too, there is a significant ideological gap: A large majority (89%) of strong liberal respondents rated Trump\u2019s global leadership as poor, while 95% of strong conservative respondents rated it positively (68% excellent, 27% good). Among those who lean conservative, view his leadership positively, while there is no consensus among centrists \u2013 41% rate his leadership positively and 37% rate it negatively. In line with this, 94% of Trump voters rated his leadership as good or excellent, compared with only 6% of Harris voters.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/19-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nDuring Trump\u2019s October 13 visit to Israel, Netanyahu said that he is \u201cIsrael\u2019s greatest friend ever\u201d and that \u201cno American president has done more for Israel\u2026 it\u2019s not even close.\u201d Forty-two percent of this survey\u2019s US respondents agree with that assessment to some extent (17% fully agree and 25% say other presidents came close, but Trump is still Israel\u2019s \u201cgreatest friend\u201d); a quarter (26%) disagree, and an eighth (12%) think other presidents did more for Israel. Fifteen percent think Trump is a great friend, but others also were, and 5% don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/20-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nMoving rightward along both the ideological and religiosity spectrums from liberal to conservative, the share who agree with Netanyahu\u2019s statement rises; among the Orthodox, the highest share (44%) fully agree. Accordingly, the Reform cohort comprises the highest share (33%) who think Trump is not a great friend of Israel. A breakdown by voting pattern again shows clear polarization: 88% of Trump voters say he is Israel\u2019s greatest friend, versus only 16% of Harris voters.<\/p>\n
Israel and the Palestinians<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
After several countries announced their recognition of a Palestinian state last month, we asked a general question about the preferred approach in the Palestinian arena. Thirty-nine percent of US panel respondents think Israel should try to reach a peace agreement with moderate Palestinians and allow a Palestinian state to live in peace alongside Israel (versus 15% among Jews in Israel). Thirty-four percent believe Israel should seek full separation from the Palestinians, dismantle settlements outside the main blocs, and focus on preserving the IDF\u2019s freedom of action to prevent the rise of terrorist organizations in the territories (identical to the responses among Jews in Israel). A further fifth (21%) think Israel should strengthen its control over the Palestinians, expand the settlements, consider dismantling the Palestinian Authority, and possibly annex parts of the West Bank (versus 42% among Jews in Israel). In other words, Jewish Israelis tend more to support expanding control and settlements, while the US Jews surveyed lean more toward a peace agreement and the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/21-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nThere are substantial gaps between liberal and conservative positions on this question. While a majority (70%) of the strong liberal cohort supports a peace agreement and the possibility of a Palestinian state, a majority (55%) of the strong conservative cohort favors strengthening Israel\u2019s control over the Palestinians, expanding settlements, considering dismantling the Palestinian Authority, and annexing parts of the West Bank. There appears to be a great similarity between the positions of conservative US Jews and those of Jewish Israelis as a whole.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/22-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nWe went on to ask respondents whether they think Israel and an independent Palestinian state could live side by side in peace. Almost half (45%) answered no, 29% answered yes, and another quarter (26%) didn\u2019t know. The September Washington Post survey, which did not include a \u201cdon\u2019t know\u201d option, found a much higher share (59%) who think coexistence is possible. However, both surveys found a similar share who disagree. There has been a significant rise in the share who do not believe peaceful coexistence is possible compared with a Pew survey of American Jews from five years ago \u2013 which found that six in ten US Jews believed Israel and a Palestinian state could live side by side in peace, while one in three did not believe this was possible.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/23-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nNotably, the share of liberals selecting \u201cdon\u2019t know\u201d in JPPI\u2019s October 2025 Voice of the Jewish People survey rose significantly \u2013 both relative to previous surveys and to conservatives\u2019 answers. This, too, may be attributable to the fact that President Trump is driving the main moves in the Middle East; liberal Jews find it hard to decide whether these steps are in the right direction (their baseline position) or the wrong direction (because they do not trust the president\u2019s intentions and actions).<\/p>\n
Morality in Wartime<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
In recent months, the international community \u2013 various UN bodies, international courts, and human rights organizations \u2013 has voiced serious allegations that Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza. These allegations focus, among other things, on civilian casualties, destruction of infrastructure, and the humanitarian crisis in the Strip.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/24-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nMost panel respondents (64%) think Israel\u00a0has not committed war crimes<\/span>\u00a0against Palestinians in Gaza. A quarter (25%) think it has committed such acts, and a tenth (11%) didn\u2019t know how to answer. These figures differ significantly from the September Washington Post poll, which found that most US Jews (61%) think Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza, and 29% did not think so. The gaps may stem from sampling differences, though we cannot be certain. (see endnote)<\/p>\n
JPPI\u2019s October Voice of the Jewish People survey found a majority in every ideological cohort, except the strong liberal group, who do not think Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza. Within the strong liberal cohort, a majority (59%) think Israel has committed war crimes. As one moves rightward along the ideological spectrum from liberal to conservative, the share disagreeing with the allegation rises. Accordingly, among Trump voters, an overwhelming majority (94%) think Israel has not committed war crimes in Gaza, while there is disagreement among Harris voters: half (47%) concur with the Trump voters, while 38% think Israel has committed war crimes.<\/p>\n
Support for Israel<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
A majority of JPPI\u2019s Voice of the Jewish People panel respondents (56%) think the US supports Israel at the appropriate level. A quarter (28%) think the US does not support Israel enough, and a tenth (10%) think it supports Israel too much. The September Washington Post poll found a higher share \u2013 a third (32%) \u2013 who said the US supports Israel too much.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/25-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nMoving rightward along the ideological spectrum from liberal to conservative, a clear pattern emerges: the more conservative the ideological orientation, the higher the share who think the US does not support Israel enough, and the lower the share who think it supports Israel too much. About 29% of the strong liberal respondent cohort think the US supports Israel too much, versus only about 1% of the strong conservative group. Accordingly, 12% of strong liberal respondents think the US does not support Israel enough, compared with 41% of strong conservatives. Sixty-five percent of centrist respondents, the highest share across cohorts, say US support for Israel is about right.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/26-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nWe also asked about the support that American Jews provide to Israel. Most (61%) think American Jews do not support Israel enough; a quarter (24%) think the level of support is about right; and a tenth (9%) think American Jews support Israel too much. Among the Modern Orthodox (87%), Conservative (71%), and ultra-Orthodox (67%), a majority are disappointed with the level of support that American Jews provide to Israel. Nearly half (45%) of Reform respondents concur, and a third (34%) say the level of support is about right.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nBroken down by voting pattern, a large majority (88%) of Trump voters think American Jews do not support Israel enough; 45% of Harris voters concur. A third (33%) of Harris voters think the level of support is about right, and an eighth (13%) believe American Jews support Israel too much.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/27-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nAbout a third of Canadian Jews who responded to the survey (35%) think Canadian Jews do not support Israel enough. Fifty-one percent say the support is \u201cabout right.\u201d Forty-one percent of UK Jews who responded think Jews in their country do not support Israel enough; 46% said the support is \u201cabout right.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sense of Security<\/strong><\/p>\n
During the two years of war, many US Jews reported a decline in their personal sense of security due to a wave of antisemitic incidents, including increased threats, verbal and physical violence, and anti-Israel protests that affected local communities. A majority (62%) of Voice of the Jewish People respondents report feeling safe as Jews in the US today (very safe + somewhat safe). By contrast, more than one-third (38%) do not feel safe (not so safe + not safe at all). This month, the panel\u2019s reported sense of security is slightly lower than that recorded last month in the Washington Post pollAcross denominational cohorts, a majority say they feel safe as Jews in the US. The data also shows that Reform (63%), Conservative (59%), and Modern Orthodox (61%) report feeling safe at higher rates than do the ultra-Orthodox (53%). There is no gap between the sense of security reported by Trump and Harris voters.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/30-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nIn recent months, we have begun collecting data in other countries as well. We asked Jews in Canada (88 respondents) and the UK (44 respondents) about their sense of security. In Canada, about 60% say they do not feel safe (most chose \u201cnot so safe\u201d). In the UK, nearly 70% answered similarly. In both cases, the samples are small and unweighted and should only be considered as anecdotal.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/31-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nThis month we also examined whether panel participants think other countries in the world, besides the US, are \u201ccomfortable places\u201d for the Jewish community there. The question was phrased: \u201cWhen you think about Canada\/France\/Germany\/the UK, is it a comfortable or uncomfortable place for the Jewish community?\u201d The table below shows the share of all panelists who think the country is comfortable for the Jewish community. Germany received the highest score (25%), with Canada (23%) just behind. By contrast, France (5%) and the UK (7%) received significantly lower \u201ccomfortable\u201d ratings.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/32-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nMost panel respondents (68%) think the UK is not a comfortable place for the Jewish community, while only a small minority (7%) consider it comfortable. The share choosing a neutral option is 14%. Among the Modern Orthodox (79%), Conservative (76%), and ultra-Orthodox (73%), especially large majorities feel that the UK is uncomfortable for Jews, while 60% of Reform Jews view it as such, and only an eighth (12%) consider it comfortable. Answers from Jews in the UK \u2013 those who responded to the survey \u2013 are very similar. Sixty-four percent said the UK is not comfortable.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/33-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nAbout half of the respondents (45%) think Canada is an uncomfortable place for the Jewish community there; a quarter (23%) see it as comfortable, and a fifth (21%) are neutral on the matter. Differences across religious streams are notable: among Reform respondents and those self-identifying denominationally as \u201cother,\u201d a relatively high share consider Canada comfortable for Jews (31%-33%), while among Conservative, Modern Orthodox, and ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) respondents, most perceive it as uncomfortable and only a small minority view it as comfortable for Jews there. Among Canadians who responded to the survey, 47% said Canada is uncomfortable for Jews (very similar to Americans\u2019 answers about Canada). Twenty-two percent described it as \u201ccomfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/34-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nMost panel participants (78%) think France is an uncomfortable place for the Jewish community, and only a small minority (5%) see it as comfortable \u2013 much more negative than the figures for Canada. Differences between religious streams are also notable here: among Reform and those belonging to \u201cother\u201d streams, the stance is somewhat more moderate \u2013 between an eighth and a quarter see France as comfortable \u2013 but among Conservative, Orthodox, and Haredi respondents, the picture is very negative. Eighty-four percent of Conservatives, 92% of Orthodox, and 80% of Haredim think France is not comfortable for Jews.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/35-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nAttitudes toward Germany are much more moderate than those recorded toward France: only a fifth of participants (20%) see it as uncomfortable for the Jewish community, a quarter (25%) see it as comfortable, and 38% view it as neutral \u2013 a particularly high share compared with other countries. Among Reform and Conservative respondents, about a quarter see Germany as comfortable. Among ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) respondents, the stance is more cautious or negative \u2013 40% view Germany as uncomfortable, and only an eighth (13%) see it as comfortable.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nWhich Countries Are Israel\u2019s Friends?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
We examined how US Jews perceive the \u201cfriendliness\u201d of several countries toward Israel with a question we also included in this month\u2019s Israeli Society Index survey. The question was phrased: \u201cWhen you think about Canada\/France\/Germany\/the UK, do you feel the country is friendly or unfriendly toward Israel?\u201d The table below shows the share of US Jews who think each of the countries is friendly, alongside the share of Jewish Israelis who do so. The data shows that US Jews assess the friendliness (or lack thereof) of France, Germany, and the UK similarly to Jews in Israel, but on average, Jewish Israelis tend to rate countries\u2019 friendliness a bit higher than US Jews. The data also shows that the share describing Germany as friendly to Israel is six times greater than the share describing France that way.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/37-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nVery similarly to Jewish Israelis\u2019 answers, most respondents (65%) see France as unfriendly to Israel, a fifth (18%) view it as neutral, and a tenth (11%) see it as friendly. Broken down by ideological orientation, there are large gaps: in the strong liberal cohort, a quarter (27%) consider France to be friendly, and a third (35%) see it as unfriendly. Among conservative respondents, a large majority (88%) consider France to be unfriendly to Israel.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/38-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nRegarding Germany, responses from US and Israeli Jews are almost identical \u2013 a majority view it as friendly to Israel, a quarter as neutral, and a tenth as unfriendly. Alongside this similarity, a higher proportion of US Jews didn\u2019t know how to answer. By ideology, there are differences across groups, but they are milder than those for France. Regarding Germany, about half or more in every ideological cohort perceive it to be friendly toward Israel.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/39-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nA majority (55%) of US respondents view the UK as unfriendly to Israel. A quarter (24%) consider it neutral, and an eighth (13%) see it as friendly. Compared with the answers of Jewish Israelis earlier this month, US Jews tend to regard the UK as less friendly. Broken down by ideological orientation, a third of strong liberal respondents view the UK as friendly, and another third (30%) as unfriendly. By contrast, conservative respondents, on the whole, regard the UK as unfriendly: three-quarters see it that way and only a few percent view it as friendly. Among UK Jews who responded to the survey, 61% said their own country is unfriendly to Israel.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/40-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nHalf of the respondent panel (48%) regards Canada as unfriendly to Israel; about a quarter (25%) view it as neutral; and a fifth (18%) see it as friendly. The more liberal the ideology, the higher the share who see Canada as friendly: 42% of strong liberal respondents say so, versus almost none among conservatives. Similarly, three-quarters of conservatives see Canada as unfriendly to Israel, while a fifth (17%) of strong liberal respondents concur. Among Canadian Jews who responded, 58% think their country is unfriendly toward Israel.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nThe Future of the Jewish People<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
An overwhelming majority of JPPI\u2019s Voice of the Jewish People respondent panel (88%) think Israel\u2019s existence is essential to the long-term future of the Jewish people. This figure is higher than the share who said so in last month\u2019s Washington Post poll. This gap likely reflects the fact that the JPPI survey inherently reaches Jews with a stronger connection to the Jewish community, to Jewish identity, and to Israel. Broken down denominationally, overwhelming majorities of Reform (93%), Conservative (98%), and Modern Orthodox (92%) respondents think Israel\u2019s existence is essential to the Jewish people\u2019s long-term future. Among ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) respondents, there is also a majority that agrees, though it is lower (60%). Further, a relatively high percentage (27%) of ultra-Orthodox respondents didn\u2019t know how to answer. Significant majorities of Trump voters (95%) and Harris voters (84%) think Israel\u2019s existence is essential to the Jewish people\u2019s long-term future.<\/p>\n

This report is an analysis of a survey administered to 554 American Jews registered for JPPI\u2019s \u201cVoice of the Jewish People\u201d respondent panel. Generally, it can be said that the survey tends to reflect the views of more \u201cconnected\u201d American Jews \u2013 that is, those with a relatively strong attachment to the Jewish community, and\/or Israel, and\/or Jewish identity.
