MAJORITY OF AMERICANS HAVE LITTLE OR NO CONFIDENCE IN NETANYAHU

Fri 26 April 2024:

A slight majority of Americans (53 percent) have little or no confidence in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to do the right thing regarding world affairs, including 25% who have no confidence in him at all, according to a Pew Research Center survey.

This compared to 21% of Americans who said they have some confidence in Netanyahu and 9% of Americans who said they had a lot of confidence. Fifteen percent of respondents said they had never heard of him.

The share of Americans who have no confidence in Netanyahu has increased 11 percentage points since 2023, including an 8-point increase in the share who have no confidence in him at all. In 2023, 26% of Americans said they had never heard of Netanyahu.

Fifty-one percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents have much more positive views of Netanyahu than Democrats and Democratic leaners (13%) do.

Older Americans are significantly more likely than younger ones to have positive views of Netanyahu, the survey says.

Pew surveyed 3,600 American adults between April 1 and April 7.
