When informed of its relative size and sponsor, 60 percent of Americans believe that US foreign aid to Israel is either “much too much, or too much”.
They respond this way after they are informed that it has been around 9% of the total U.S. foreign aid budget. This is information that Gallup and the World Affairs Council leave out, letting Americans retain their preconceptions about relative aid levels. This more detailed question, however, will have to change in future polls since the Trump administration proposes cutting much of the US State Department aid budget to other countries while leaving aid to Israel untouched.
