US EditionJust 23% of Americans say Israeli military actions in Gaza are fully justified, CNN poll finds
UNITED STATES, JUL 18 – Only 23% of Americans now fully justify Israel's Gaza actions, reflecting growing doubts about US military aid and desire for less international involvement, CNN poll shows.
- Earlier this month, a CNN poll conducted by SSRS found that 23% of Americans fully justify Israel’s military actions in Gaza, marking a 27-point drop since October 2023, after surveying US adults from July 10-13.
- Amid questions about US involvement, Americans are less likely to support intervention in international affairs, and public sentiment is turning against the US’s traditional role as a global leader.
- In contrast across groups, among Democrats, support plummeted from 38% to 7%, while just 10% of Americans under 35 fully justify Israel’s actions and only 13% of nonwhite respondents agree.
- Amid debate over aid, 42% of Americans say the US is doing too much to help Israel, and 29% favor reducing military aid.
- Poll results show 60% of Americans disapprove of Donald Trump’s handling of foreign affairs, a level comparable to January 2020 after Qasem Soleimani’s assassination.
