68% Of Connected American Jews Back US and Israel War Against Iran, Survey Finds

A new survey by Israel's Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI) found that 68% of 692 "connected" American Jews said they support a US-Israel war against Iran.

“**68% of 'connected' American Jews back the US-Israel war against Iran, survey finds** By PHILISSA CRAMER JTA — About two-thirds of “connected” American Jews support the US-Israel war against Iran, a new survey has found, even as they are concerned that it could exacerbate antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment in the United States”

The institute reported this finding from its panel of respondents and framed the poll as measuring a subset of the American Jewish community described as "connected".

Many respondents simultaneously expressed worry that such a conflict could worsen antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment in the United States.

The JPPI said its panel was designed to reflect U.S. Jewish denominational distribution, a methodological detail it cites when presenting the results.

By describing the respondents as a denominationally reflective panel of 'connected' Jews, the JPPI indicates an attempt to capture a cross-section of Jewish communal affiliations.

The specific label 'connected' signals the sample comprises individuals with ties to Jewish communal institutions or networks.

The survey revealed pronounced partisan divisions within the “connected” Jewish sample: it reported near-universal backing for military action among self-described conservatives, 57% support among Jews who identified as “leaning liberal,” and opposition among those the poll labeled “strong liberals,” where just 28% supported such a war.

JPPI highlighted these splits to show how ideological self-identification correlated with support for military action in this sample.

JPPI’s findings contrast with other national polls cited in the article, which reportedly found about 60% of American voters opposing military action against Iran and showed substantially lower support among Democrats.

The Times of Israel piece notes this divergence between JPPI’s connected-Jewish sample and broader public-opinion surveys, suggesting JPPI’s views are not identical to national sentiment.
