The new survey, conducted March 7-13 among 10,441 U.S. adults, shows that public opinion varies considerably on these questions by political party.
Republicans are strongly for Israel
Republicans and those who lean toward the Republican Party express much more positive views of the Israeli people (78% very or somewhat favorable) than of the Palestinian people (37%), and they view the Israeli government far more favorably (66%) than the Palestinian government (18%).
Democrats lean in favor of Palestinians
By contrast, Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents hold about equally positive views of the Israeli people and Palestinian people (60% and 64% favorable, respectively) and rate Israel’s government on par with the Palestinian government (34% vs. 37%).

Religious affiliation also matters: White evangelical Protestants are much more likely than members of any other major Christian tradition to say the best outcome would be a single state with an Israeli government; 28% say this, compared with 6% each of Catholics, White non-evangelical Protestants and Black Protestants.
Perhaps relatedly, White evangelicals also are the group most likely to say God gave the land that is now Israel to the Jewish people. Fully 70% of White evangelicals take that position, more than twice the share of U.S. Jews who answered a similar (but not identical) question in a 2020 survey by saying God gave the land of Israel to the Jewish people (32%).

Я сейчас гадость скажу, но вот эти вот американские евреи, которые не считают, что Земля Израиля дана Б-гом евреям - это те самые, которые требуют, чтобы Израиль выделил им площадку у Стены Плача, потому что они "представляют течение в иудаизме", my ass 🤬
