Jews and support about Iran

The AJC survey revealed that 56 percent of American Jews would support, and 36 percent would oppose, United States military action against Iran to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons. A year ago, the AJC survey found that 42 percent would support the U.S. taking military action against Iran, while 47 percent were opposed.

On the Obama Administration's general handling of the Iran nuclear issue, 49 percent of American Jews approve and 35 percent disapprove.

And, in another sign of heightening concern about Iran's nuclear program, 66 percent would support, and 28 percent would oppose, Israel taking military action against Iran to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons.

AJC has conducted its survey of American Jews annually since 1997.
