Once true, not anymore, unless you are talking within a far right republican silo. Support of zionism is now a losing issue, especially with democratic party respondents.

"53% of Americans have unfavorable view of Israel, compared to 42% in 2022" https://www.timesofisrael.com/most-americans-dont-want-the-us-to-take-over-gaza-pew-survey-finds/

"https://news.gallup.com/poll/657404/less-half-sympathetic-toward-israelis.aspx"

Not favoring Israel's behavior is not the same thing as not supporting Israel existing.

And yet two thirds of Americans supported the most pro-Israel candidate we've ever had.
