![A chart with a survey asking Americans whether they sympathize more with Israelis or Palestinians.]() Fewer Americans are sympathetic toward Israelis — the lowest level in at least a quarter-century, according to new Gallup data.
Polling conducted in February found that 46% of US adults say their
sympathies lie more with Israelis than Palestinians — a plurality, but a
low point since Gallup started polling the question annually 25 years
ago. One-third of US adults say they sympathize with Palestinians, the
highest reading to date. The change is largely driven by declining
support for Israel among independents and Democrats. Meanwhile, a
majority supports a two-state solution that would involve the creation
of a Palestinian state, including 41% of Republicans — a 15-point
increase after a sharp drop in 2024. |
