Poll Shows Muslim NY Mayor Mamdani Viewed More Favorably Than Netanyahu Among Jewish Adults in US
\n————————————————–
\nA new AP-NORC poll shows that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is viewed more favorably than Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu among Jewish adults in the United States, reflecting growing political divisions within the American Jewish community over Israel and domestic political leadership.<\/p>\n
According to the poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, 44 percent of Jewish adults said they viewed Mamdani somewhat or very favorably, while 39 percent viewed him unfavorably. Another 17 percent said they did not know enough to express an opinion.<\/p>\n
By contrast, only about one-third of Jewish adults expressed a favorable view of Netanyahu, while about six in 10 viewed the Israeli prime minister unfavorably.<\/p>\n
The survey also found broader signs of political unease among Jewish Americans. Many respondents said they felt poorly represented by both major US political parties, while 63 percent described antisemitism in the United States as an extremely or very serious problem.<\/p>\n
AP said the poll was conducted from June 11 to 17, 2026, among 3,040 US adults, including 1,022 Jewish adults. The margin of sampling error for Jewish adults was plus or minus 5 percentage points.<\/p>\n
The findings point to increasingly diverse views among Jewish Americans, particularly on Israel, Gaza, and the political figures most closely associated with those debates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
