Poll: Half of Jewish Voters Believe Trump is Antisemitic
A new survey reveals that a majority of American Jewish voters (52%) view President Trump as antisemitic, despite his administration’s actions aimed at combating antisemitism. While significant concern exists regarding antisemitism on campuses and nationwide (77% and upwards, respectively), most respondents believe Trump’s policies, such as university funding cuts and deportations of pro-Palestinian activists, actually exacerbate the problem. Further, Jewish voter approval of Trump’s performance remains low (26%), extending to his foreign policy and handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Finally, attachment to Israel has decreased among Jewish voters since the October 2023 Hamas attack, and Prime Minister Netanyahu’s popularity is significantly low.
