Americans' Support for Israel Is Growing amid War with Hamas

(YouGov) Kathy Frankovic - After Hamas' recent attack on Israel, nearly half (48%) of U.S. adult citizens say they are more sympathetic toward the Israelis in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, compared to just 10% who are more sympathetic toward the Palestinians, according to the latest Economist-YouGov survey conducted Oct. 14-17, 2023. It's also significantly above the 31% who backed Israel in March 2023. The increased support for Israel is driven by people coming off the fence about the conflict. Since March, the share who sympathize about equally with both sides has fallen from 27% to 23%, and the share who aren't sure which side they back has dropped from 30% to 19%. The share of Americans who say Israel is either a friend or an ally is up 10 percentage points since July, to 74%. 75% of Democrats now see Israel as a friend or an ally, up 18 percentage points from 57% in July.
