Recent polling data reveals a notable shift in American public opinion regarding US military aid to Israel and perceptions of the ongoing conflict in Gaza. According to a Quinnipiac poll, opposition to additional US military assistance to Israel has reached its highest level since late 2023, with Americans opposing aid by a margin of approximately 2-to-1. Reuters reports that a majority of Americans now view Israel's actions in Gaza as excessive, support the recognition of a Palestinian state, and favor US intervention to prevent famine in Gaza. Support for Palestine is at its highest since polling began in 2001. The divide extends across political lines, with 37% of Republicans opposing further military aid to Israel, potentially influenced by prominent conservative figures. Demographically, 60% of Americans aged 18 to 24 and about one-third of Democrats express support for Hamas, with some backing the group's holding of approximately 50 hostages in Gaza. These findings indicate a complex and evolving public stance on the US-Israel military alliance and the broader conflict, highlighting generational and partisan differences.

A new poll shows 60% of Gen Z and 33% of Democrats side with Hamas over Israel. This is a national crisis. Hamas is a jihadist terror group committed to slaughtering every infidel. This didn’t happen in a vacuum—it’s the result of schools & media teaching youth to hate America. https://t.co/VCH1AfDK0S
