"Half of voters in the United States believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, a poll has found. The share of US voters who believe a genocide is taking place includes 77 percent of Democrats and 51 percent of independents, according to the Quinnipiac University poll released on Wednesday. A large majority of Republicans 64 percent to 20 percent do not think Israel is committing genocide, according to the poll."
"Voters are almost evenly split in their sympathies for Palestinians and Israelis, according to Quinnipiac, with 37 percent saying they are more sympathetic towards Palestinians and 36 percent saying they feel more sympathy for Israelis. The share of Americans expressing sympathy for Palestinians is the highest and the share sympathetic towards Israelis the lowest since Quinnipiac began asking the question in December 2001. Support for the Palestinians grows while the appetite for funding Israel militarily dips sharply,"
Half of US voters believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. That view includes 77 percent of Democrats and 51 percent of independents, while 64 percent of Republicans do not. Six in 10 US voters oppose Washington sending more military aid to Israel, the highest share since November 2023. Voter sympathies are nearly evenly split: 37 percent more sympathetic to Palestinians and 36 percent to Israelis, with Palestinian sympathy at its highest and Israeli sympathy at its lowest since December 2001. The survey sampled 1,220 registered voters with a margin of error of ±3.4 percentage points. Rights groups have accused Israel of perpetrating genocide; Israel has denied the charge. An interim International Court of Justice decision allowed South Africa to proceed with a related case.
