Israeli Citizens Prefer Trump Victory, Poll Shows

The majority of Israeli citizens say they want President Donald Trump to win re-election in November.

The 2024 presidential election is coming down to the wire, with polls showing a historically close race between Trump and Democrat nominee Kamala Harris.

However, if the outcome were up to the people of Israel, there would be a clear and decisive winner.

According to a recent poll, 54% of Israeli citizens want Trump to win the election.

Meanwhile, just 24% want a Harris victory.

The poll was conducted by Langer Research Associates and Public Opinion Research Israel (PORI).

When Israeli Jews specifically were polled, 58% said Trump, while 23% backed Harris.

The vast polling gap is likely a reflection of Trump’s strongly pro-Israel foreign policy and track record of successful peace negotiations.

Trump’s policies are in contrast to those of President Joe Biden and VP Harris.

While Harris and Biden have both said that Israel has a right to defend itself, they have repeatedly criticized the Jewish state over its response to the Hamas terror attacks.

The Langer Research Associates poll found that a majority of Israelis believe Israel is being too careful about limiting civilian casualties.

Supporters of Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling coalition overwhelmingly supported Trump, by 84%.

Meanwhile, supporters of Israel’s opposition party were split evenly, with 39% backing Harris versus 37% for Trump.

One year after the October 7, 2023, attack, Israel’s war with Hamas is threatening to escalate into a wider war involving Iran and Lebanon.

The mounting Middle East crisis has put Harris on defense.

Trump blames Harris and Biden for emboldening Iran and its proxies to attack Israel.

Harris is also scrambling to stem bleeding support from Arab voters.

A recent poll shows Trump ahead with the traditionally Democratic demographic.

American Jews have historically supported Democrats, and polling suggests this remains largely unchanged.

However, the October 7 attack, and the Democratic Party’s equivocation concerning Hamas, have opened up a divide.

Trump has said that Jewish voters who do not support him should “have their heads examined.”

He has suggested that, if he loses, Jewish voters will be partly to blame.

In a radio interview on the one-year anniversary of October 7, Trump noted that his support of Israel hasn’t always been reciprocated.

“I did more for Israel than anybody,” Trump told radio host Hugh Hewitt on Monday.

“I did more for the Jewish people than anybody.

“And it’s not a reciprocal, as they say.”
