More Democrats sympathize with Palestinians than Israelis for first time: Gallup
![]()
More Democrats place their sympathies with Palestinians than Israelis in the Middle East for the first time, according to a new poll, as violence surges between the two parties to start the year.
Forty-nine percent of Democrats said their sympathies are more with Palestinians than Israelis, according to the Gallup survey released Thursday, while 38 percent said they place their sympathy more with Israelis.
It is the first time since Gallup started tracking the question in 2001 that more Democrats sympathize with Palestinians than Israelis, continuing a declining trend in Democratic attitudes toward Israel since the mid-2010s.
In addition to Democrats, sympathies for Palestinians from U.S. political independents is at an all-time high of 32 percent, though nearly half, 49 percent, still lean toward Israelis.
