A quarter (25%) said U.S. policy was not supportive enough while 22% said it was too supportive.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A majority of Democrats (55%) consider the level of U.S. support for Israel about right compared to 34% of Republicans.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conservative Republicans stand out for their belief that the U.S. has not been supportive enough of Israel. Fully 57% of conservative Republicans said the U.S. has not been supportive enough of Israel.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Republicans also showed stronger sympathies for Israel than Democrats when it came to that country&#8217;s conflict with the Palestinians. Overall, Americans sympathize with Israel more than the Palestinians by a 50% to 10% margin. Seven-in-ten Republicans sympathize more with Israel compared to 41% of Democrats. <a
