A new Quinnipiac University poll found that 48 percent of registered voters say the United States is too supportive of Israel. Seven percent said support is not enough, 38 percent said it is about right, and 6 percent were unsure. The survey of 1,165 self-identified registered voters was conducted June 18-22 and carries a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
The authors noted that the share saying the United States is too supportive is the highest recorded since the question was first asked of registered voters in January 2017.
Sixty-six percent of Democrats, 20 percent of Republicans, and 55 percent of independents said the United States backs Israel too much.
The poll was taken after the United States joined Israel in military action against Iran nearly four months ago. Last week, Vice President Vance told reporters that Israeli officials should avoid criticizing the recent U.S.-Iran peace deal. "If I was in the Cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world," he said at a White House press conference.
