Poll numbers also seem to suggest a slight drop in Israeli support among the GOP. Fifteen years ago in 2010, Republican support for Israel stood at 85% . Today it’s still strong, yet down to 75% .

For example, while 72% of Republicans overall believe America’s military should support Israel, only 32% of Gen Z Trump voters feel that way.
