(Gallup) Frank Newport - In an analysis of data from 2015-2019, 71% of those who frequently attend religious services are sympathetic to Israel, compared with 49% of those who never attend. The relationship is essentially the same as it was between 2001 and 2014. In the 2015-2019 sample, 86% of Jews are sympathetic to Israel, as are 70% of Protestants, 60% of Catholics, and 43% of those with no religious identity. There has been little change in these attitudes since the 2001-2014 analysis. We don't have a direct measure of "evangelicals" in our sample, but we can obtain an approximation of this group by isolating white, highly religious Protestants. The results show that 87% of this group are sympathetic to the Israelis - essentially the same as Jews.
