More American Jewish voters held a favorable view of the New York City mayor than of the Israeli prime minister, despite Mamdani’s outspoken criticism of Israel and reticence to condemn the slogan “globalize the intifada” on the campaign trail (Mamdani’s comments, or lack thereof, drew criticism from Jewish leaders). The findings underscore the growing frustration with Netanyahu in the American Jewish community, particularly over his handling of the war in Gaza. Netanyahu fared slightly better with the American public as a whole than with Jewish voters, according to the poll: his approval rating among all US voters was 10 points higher than among American Jewish voters.
