Â鶹´«Ã½ polling just before the Iran war found broad faith in the United States' military strength, but doubts about its global position.
Israelis no longer lead the Palestinians in Americans' sympathies, with independents' shift toward the Palestinians driving most of the change.
In the West Bank and East Jerusalem, the inability to afford food, economic pessimism and negative emotions remain higher than pre-war levels.
Â鶹´«Ã½'s latest survey of Israel shows the conflict still dominates public perception, even though wellbeing levels have returned to pre-Oct. 7 levels.
