55% View Genocide Charge Against Israel as ‘Outrageous’
American voters now have a less favorable view of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu than they did a few months ago, but agree with him that it is “outrageous” to accuse Israel of genocide against Palestinians.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 42% of Likely U.S. Voters view Netanyahu favorably, including 20% with a Very Favorable opinion. Thirty-five percent (35%) view Netanyahu unfavorably, including 20% with a Very Unfavorable impression. Twenty-four percent (24%) are not sure. These findings mark a significant decline in the Israeli PM’s favorability since early November, when 54% viewed Netanyahu at least somewhat favorably. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
