Nearly a third of Americans view US support for Israel as being “too strong”, a poll conducted by Edison Research has revealed.

According to the poll’s findings, 31 per cent of voters nationwide said US support for Israel is too strong, 30 per cent said it’s not strong enough and 31 per cent said it’s about right.

The exit poll conducted by Edison Research also found that 56 per cent of US voters believe most undocumented immigrants in the United States should be offered a chance to apply for legal status, 40 per cent said they should be deported to the countries they came from.

The poll came as America voted for its 47th US president, with Donald Trump securing his return to the White House in the new year.

The Washington Post had described the choice between candidates Trump and Kamala Harris as the worst selection of presidential options in the history of the United States.
