US EditionAmericans Now Sympathize More with Palestinians than Israelis, Gallup Finds
For the first time, U.S. adults’ sympathies are nearly equal for Palestinians (41%) and Israelis (36%), reflecting shifts driven by younger and independent voters, Gallup said.
- On Feb 27, Gallup released a poll showing 41% of U.S. adults sympathize more with Palestinians and 36% with Israelis, a first in its trend.
- Long-Term shifts since around 2017, accelerated during the Gaza war, drove Democrats and independents toward Palestinians, with younger Americans also moving since 2020, reaching new highs this year.
- Among independents, about 4 in 10 say they sympathize more with Palestinians, according to the Gallup poll released on February 27.
- The poll signals political repercussions as U.S. assistance to Israel divides party primaries and sparks student protests on college campuses, intensifying debate over U.S. politics and foreign policy.
- A majority of U.S. adults, 57%, support an independent Palestinian state, with three-quarters of Democrats and about 6 in 10 independents backing it, according to Gallup. By contrast, regional support remains lower.
