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.
The poll, conducted for the Free Beacon by Echelon Insights, surveyed over 1,100 likely GOP primary voters across the country between June 5-9, just a few weeks before socialist candidates—united by their opposition to Israel—won Democratic primaries in New York and Colorado.
They include Darializa Avila Chevalier, Claire Valdez, Melat Kiros, and Brad Lander, all of whom oppose U.S. military aid to Israel, which they describe as an apartheid state and have accused of genocide.
Their views are consistent with rising anti-Israel sentiment among the Democratic electorate.
An April 2026 Pew Research poll found that 8 in 10 Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents have an unfavorable view of Israel and that just 4 percent of Muslims view Israel in a positive light.
Though likely Republican voters are supportive of Israel and of the president’s focus on international threats in Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba, their biggest concerns remain on the economy and immigration.
Asked about the biggest issue facing the country today, the cost of living, immigration, and jobs and the economy topped the list at 31 percent, 13 percent, and 12 percent respectively.
The Free Beacon poll was conducted before President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. and Iran had agreed to terms laid out in a Memorandum of Understanding, which brought hostilities to a halt, at least temporarily.
But it showed that Republican voters were supportive of the war by a whopping 59 point margin.
Likewise, they approved of President Donald Trump’s handling of the conflict with Iran by 55 points.
