Americans are split on whether Israel’s response has been excessive (50% agree, 50% disagree), Democrats are more likely to agree (62%) than Republicans (30%)
That is to say that 70% of Republicans believe that a bombing campaign that has killed 12,000 of innocent civilians including thousands of children is not excessive. The parody isn’t far from truth.
Americans are split on whether Israel’s response has been excessive (50% agree, 50% disagree), Democrats are more likely to agree (62%) than Republicans (30%) and 76% say that Israel is doing what any country would do in response to a terror attack and taking of civilians hostages – a majority of Democrats (77%) and Republicans (83%) agree here. However, two in three (68%) of respondents also agree with the statement that “Israel should call a ceasefire and try to negotiate.”
TBH, even 30% of Republicans saying it’s excessive is remarkable, considering the bullshit FOX has been serving up since Oct 7.
These polls record responses to specific questions. The response indicates their agreement with a specific question, and typically they cover a range of related questions so that you get a picture of sentiments on each one.

That many people not thinking what’s going on is “excessive” is a disturbing statistic of course, but that’s a second discussion. I reckon it’s mostly the people who aren’t seeing footage from on the ground.
So I tried to find the poll instead of an article about it and I found this.
