Overview

• Thirty-five percent of registered voters say they sympathize more with Palestinians versus 34% with Israelis, a reversal from December 2023 when 47% sided with Israel and 20% with Palestinians.
• A 51% majority opposes providing additional U.S. economic and military assistance to Israel, according to the survey of 1,313 registered voters conducted Sept. 22–27 with a ±3.2-point margin of error.
• Young voters drive the change: among those 18–29, about 61% sympathize more with Palestinians and 68% oppose more U.S. aid to Israel.
• Partisan views diverge sharply, with 54% of Democrats sympathizing more with Palestinians (13% with Israel) and 64% of Republicans siding with Israel, though GOP support has softened since 2023.
• Perceptions of the war have shifted, as 40% say Israel is intentionally killing Palestinian civilians, 62% believe it is not taking enough precautions, and 58% favor halting the Gaza campaign even if hostages remain; the poll concluded before President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu unveiled their 20-point Gaza plan.
