Gallup Poll Shows Democrats Overwhelmingly Oppose Israel, Republicans Overwhelmingly Support Israel

The percentage of Democrats siding more with Israel fell less sharply, from 49% to 43%; however, today's figure approaches the lowest level of Democratic partiality toward Israel since 2005. The views of political independents are unchanged. Seventy-six percent of Republicans’ sympathies lie with Israel, compare to 43% of Democrats who say the same. 

Another way to evaluate the shifts over time in the two major party groups' views toward the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is to review net sympathies toward Israel -- the percentage who sympathize more with Israel minus those sympathizing more with the Palestinians -- among the main ideological groups within each party. 

On this basis, it's clear that conservative Republicans have long been the most partial to Israel in the conflict, given their consistently high net-sympathy ratings. Moderate/liberal Republicans have the second-highest net-sympathy for Israel, followed by moderate/conservative Democrats, while liberal Democrats have the lowest net sympathy for Israel. 

Apart from the rank order, the gaps in net sympathy for Israel between the groups have been widening, with sympathy for Israel increasing among both Republican groups and decreasing among both Democratic groups.
