Most U.S. adults and many college students support some of the ways President Donald Trump is using government power against antisemitism on college campuses, new polling shows.
Adults and college students support cutting federal funds for universities that fail to address antisemitism by 66% and 56%, respectively, according to an Israel on Campus Coalition survey obtained Tuesday by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The poll also found that 54% of adults support deporting pro-Hamas encampment leader Mahmoud Khalil, with a plurality of college students agreeing at 40%.
“The American public has sent a clear message: universities must be held accountable for failing to protect Jewish students from discrimination and harassment,” said Jacob Baime, CEO of the Israel on Campus Coalition, in a statement shared with the DCNF.
The poll surveyed 1,000 U.S. adults and 450 college students between March 21-24 after the Trump administration made significant moves: cutting or threatening millions of dollars in funds for institutions such as Columbia University, arresting Khalil over his role in antisemitic protests at Columbia
