American Jews view New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani more favorably than Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a new poll by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research revealed on Tuesday.

The survey, carried out on 1,022 Jewish adults nationwide between June 11 and June 17, found that 44% of American Jews view Mamdani either very favorably or somewhat favorably, whereas just 32% of respondents said they have a favorable opinion of Netanyahu.

Thirty-nine percent of US Jews viewed Mamdani unfavorably, and 59% viewed Netanyahu unfavorably.

A strong majority of US Jews viewed US President Donald Trump unfavorably (70%), whereas only 29% had a favorable opinion. This differed from the national average (including Jews and non-Jews) which was 38% favorable and 59% not.

The respondents were then asked whether they approve or disapprove of the way Trump is handling a variety of issues.

I would like ot see that poll broken down by political party and religious affiliation (orthodox, conservative, reform, nothing). I guarantee the Republican Jews and the orthodox ones were not in that 7% who thought it was justified.
Then again, who do they consider to be Jewish Bernie Sanders? George Soros? Just because someone was born Jewish doesn't make them Jewish.
