JPPI Survey Reveals Decline in US Jewish Support for Iran War Amid Ongoing Operations
A recent survey conducted by the Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI) indicates a decline in support among US Jews for the ongoing Iran war. Initially, 68% of US Jews supported the war during the first week of Operations Epic Fury and Roaring Lion. However, this support decreased to 62% by the third week and further to 60% as a ceasefire was implemented. Concurrently, opposition to the operations increased from 26% at the start to 34% currently. The survey also highlights that support among Canadian and British Jews, initially high, has similarly eroded. The data reveals a growing perception among US Jews that the war is a failure, with those holding this view rising from 14% to 25%. Despite this, a majority still view the war as successful, though this majority has decreased from 66% to 56%. The survey also notes strong support for a military blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, with 59% of US respondents in favor.
