Overview

• Since 2017, Democrats’ sympathy has swung from a 13-point pro-Israel advantage to a 43-point edge for Palestinians, according to recent CNN polling
• Voters aged 18 to 49 have driven the change, reversing a 14-point pro-Israel margin into a 57-point pro-Palestinian lead
• Enten attributes Zohran Mamdani’s primary victory in New York City to this shift, which nullified Andrew Cuomo’s pro-Israel attacks
• The data mark a turning point in party orthodoxy as pro-Palestinian views now dominate Democratic foreign policy debates
• Analysts link the realignment to growing progressive activism, heightened attention to Palestinian rights, and demographic changes among younger Democrats
