Polling shows US support for Palestinians at all-time high

A Quinnipiac University Poll released on Wednesday showed for the very first time that US support for Israel is dwindling significantly, while support for Palestinians grows. 

Results showed that 60 percent of American voters oppose the US sending more military aid to Israel, while 32 percent support it.

This is the highest level of opposition for military aid to Israel since Quinnipiac first asked this question of registered voters on 2 November 2023, nearly a month after the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel.

Results also showed that half of US voters think Israel is committing genocide, while 35 percent do not think so. Fifteen percent did not offer an opinion.

Voters were asked whether their sympathies lie more with the Israelis or more with the Palestinians based on what they know about the situation in the Middle East. Thirty-seven percent of voters said Palestinians, while 36 percent said Israelis, and 27 percent did not offer an opinion.

Quinnipiac noted that this is an all-time high for the Palestinians and an all-time low for the Israelis since the University Poll began asking this question of registered voters in December 2001.

Responses came from a telephone survey of 1,220 self-identified registered voters with a margin of sampling error of +/- 3.4 percentage points. It was conducted between 21-25 August 2025.
