GOP Primary Voters Remain Deeply Supportive of Israel, Poll Finds
Anti-Israel radicals are ascendant in the Democratic party, but Republican primary voters remain deeply supportive of the Jewish state, a Washington Free Beacon poll found. The survey, conducted in early June found that likely Republican primary voters prefer a candidate who supports a strong U.S.-Israel relationship by a margin of 57 percentage points and who explicitly denounces antisemitism by a margin of 52 percentage points. By the same token, survey respondents also said they were less likely to support a candidate who describes Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a war criminal, who takes steps to economically isolate Israel, and who votes against congressional resolutions denouncing antisemitism – by margins of 25 points, 43 points, and 43 points respectively.
