20% of Young Americans View Osama bin Laden Positively, Poll Finds

The survey results come amid controversy over Bin Laden’s “Letter to America” going viral on TikTok.

  • According to a recent poll conducted by J.L. Partners for the Daily Mail, 20% of young Americans aged 18-28 have a positive view of Osama bin Laden.
  • Among black voters, almost one in five (18 percent) shared the same positive views.
  • Eight percent of the Gen Z age group said both Bin Laden's 'views and actions' were good, while 23 percent said his views were good but his actions were bad.
  • Overall, 81 percent of American voters said they had negative views of him, while just under one in ten (eight percent) viewed him positively.
  • The findings also come after TikTok users made Bin Laden’s “Letter to America” go viral after Hamas’ 10/7 attack on Israel, which attempted to justify the attack.
