Voters are split on whether they believe Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people living in Gaza, with 39% saying Israel is committing genocide, 38% saying Israel is not, and 23% saying they don’t know.
A separate question in the poll underscores Americans’ leanings toward Israel, as it finds 51% saying they sympathize more with the Israelis and 27% more with the Palestinians. The remainder say they sympathize equally with both sides (4%), do not sympathize with either side (10%) or do not have an opinion (8%).
Furthermore, Americans sympathize with Israelis far more than they sympathize with Palestinians, which suggests denouncing Israel may not actually help Biden win.
