Amongst Jews in America, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is viewed much more unfavorably than New York City’s Muslim Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, according to an AP-NORC poll, as reported by AP. While Mamdani’s favorables (44%) are higher by 5 points than his unfavorables (39%), Netanyahu’s favorables (32%) trail his unfavorables (59%) by 27 points. This amounted to a 32-point swing in Mamdani’s direction.
The general U.S. population reversed these trends, with favorable to unfavorable for Mamdani at 27% to 28%, and for Netanyahu, 38% to 20%—or a 19-point net advantage for Netanyahu. Apparently, if concern over Netanyahu’s leadership of Israel is still to be claimed as the measure of anti-Semitism, then America’s Jewish population is more anti-Semitic than the rest of the population!
