"I looked back at every single poll that I could possibly find since this question was first asked in the 1980s, this is the first time ever in which the Palestinians had any sort of lead on this particular question, he said. It is very clear that this war caused a historic shift away from the Israeli position in the Middle East conflict and toward the Palestinians when it comes to who Americans and voters sympathize with."
"Among Democrats, they have gone from favoring the Israelis by 26% in 2023 to the Palestinians by 46%. On Republicans, Enten pointed to the shifting opinions among younger age groups. Cited data from Quinnipiac, which includes independents who lean Republican, Republicans aged 18-49 sympathize more with Israelis than Palestinians. Among Republicans who are 50 years or older though, that number jumps to 66%."
The Israel-Hamas war produced a historic shift in U.S. public sympathy from Israelis toward Palestinians, reversing a 48-point pro-Israel advantage from October 2023 to a one-point pro-Palestinian margin. Polling back to the 1980s shows this is the first time Palestinians held any lead on the sympathy question. The shift is bipartisan but especially pronounced among Democrats, who moved from favoring Israelis by 26% in 2023 to favoring Palestinians by 46%. Republican views vary sharply by age, with younger Republicans (18-49) more sympathetic to Israelis while Republicans 50 and older are about 66% pro-Israel. A ceasefire agreement and an announced release of remaining hostages were reported to occur by early next week.
