Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.

Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

Every source for this story reports from Israel.

A new poll indicates that 67 percent of Jewish voters in the United States plan to vote Democrat or lean Democratic in a congressional generic ballot. While this majority persists, one report notes a slight decrease in support for the Democratic party in recent years. Regarding Republican candidates, the survey shows that Vice President Vance is viewed favorably by 14 percent of Jewish voters, which is lower than the 22 percent favorability rating for President Trump. A center leaning source framed the results as a sign of continued Democratic support despite anti Israel turmoil, while a left leaning source framed the data as a failure of Vance to win over Jewish voters despite his outreach efforts.

How each side framed it

Left
The report focused on the specific struggle of JD Vance to gain traction with Jewish voters.
Centre
The report focused on the resilience of Democratic support amidst geopolitical turmoil.
