Overview

• The Quinnipiac survey conducted Aug. 21–25 among 1,220 registered voters (±3.4 points) reports 60% oppose additional U.S. military aid to Israel and 32% support it, the highest opposition since late 2023.
• Half of respondents say Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, while 35% say it is not.
• Sympathies are now essentially split, with 37% siding more with Palestinians and 36% with Israelis, marking a Quinnipiac-record high for Palestinians and low for Israelis since 2001.
• Partisan divides are stark: 75% of Democrats and 66% of independents oppose more aid, while 56% of Republicans support additional spending.
• Related reporting highlights deteriorating conditions and policy moves, including a famine declaration in parts of Gaza, lethal strikes that killed journalists and hit a Khan Yunis hospital, Netanyahu’s approval of expanded Gaza City operations with President Trump’s backing, White House talks on postwar planning, and criticism from Qatar and Egypt over Israel’s response to a ceasefire proposal accepted by Hamas.
