Overview

  • A July Data for Progress survey paid for by the Institute for Middle East Understanding Policy Project shows 63% of Democratic primary voters back enforcing an ICC arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and 72% favor withholding U.S. weapons to Israel.
  • A majority of respondents characterize Israel’s military actions in Gaza as genocidal and support measures to hold its leaders accountable.
  • Fifty-seven percent say they would be less likely to support any congressional candidate who does not endorse Zohran Mamdani’s pro-Palestinian platform, highlighting his growing influence.
  • Institute for Middle East Understanding Policy Project leaders call the findings a wake-up call for Democrats to align with base sentiment on Gaza policy.
  • The Republican Jewish Coalition labels the poll credible but criticizes Democratic hostility to Israel and positions the GOP as the only pro-Israel party.
