Americans Still Pro-Israel, Palestinians Gain Support
(Gallup) Lydia Saad - 55% of Americans now sympathize more with the Israelis and 26% with the Palestinians, based on Gallup's annual World Affairs survey for 2022, conducted Feb. 1-17. While still wide, Israel's advantage has narrowed since 2013 as sympathy for the Palestinians has edged higher, while sympathy for Israel has diminished slightly. Whereas 64% of adults 55 and older and 57% aged 35 to 54 are more sympathetic toward Israel, this drops to 40% among those under 35. Liberal Democrats favor Palestinians over Israel by 52% to 28%, while conservative and moderate Democrats favor Israel over Palestinians by 50% to 28%. Conservative Republicans favor Israel by 84% to 9%.
