According to a recent poll, half of US voters believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, with 77% of Democrats and 51% of independents sharing this view. However, a significant majority of Republicans (64% to 20%) do not agree with this assessment.
Furthermore, six in ten US voters are against Washington providing additional military aid to Israel, marking the highest level of opposition to such aid since Quinnipiac began asking this question in November 2023.
The poll also indicates that voters are almost evenly divided in their sympathies for Palestinians and Israelis, with 37% expressing more sympathy for Palestinians and 36% for Israelis. This represents the highest level of sympathy for Palestinians and the lowest for Israelis since Quinnipiac started asking this question in December 2001.
Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy noted in a press release that support for Palestinians is growing, while the appetite for funding Israel militarily is decreasing. The poll also reflected a harsh assessment of Israel’s actions in Gaza, invoking a “word of infamy.”
These findings are based on a survey of 1,220 self-identified registered voters, with a reported margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
Rights groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have accused Israel of genocide in Gaza, a charge denied by the Israeli government. In January last year, the International Court of Justice ruled that South Africa could proceed with its case accusing Israel of genocide, and in November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, and deceased Hamas commander Mohammed Deif for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.
