A claim that President Donald Trump has 99% support in Israel is inaccurate. There is no reputable poll that supports this figure. Trump made this assertion during a video on May 20, 2026, but did not provide any source for the claim. Lead Stories conducted a search and found no polls indicating such high support for Trump in Israel.
Two polls indicate significant support for Trump, but at lower levels. A Pew Research Center poll from June 11, 2025, found that 69% of Israeli adults have 'a lot or some confidence' in him. Additionally, a poll from The Jewish People Policy Institute on February 11, 2026, revealed that 73% of Israelis view Trump as a better-than-average U.S. president regarding Israel's interests. Among Jewish Israelis, 54% consider Trump one of the best U.S. presidents in the context of Israel, with another 25% rating him as above average, totaling 79%. Lead Stories reached out to the White House Press Office for clarification on the 99% claim but did not receive a response.
