The latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll reveals a divided American public over Israel’s response to the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas.
The survey shows a significant increase in the number of Democrats who believe Israel’s response has been excessive. The poll also highlights a clear divide on whether the U.S. should fund the wars in Israel and Ukraine, or neither, with younger Americans and nonwhites advocating for a more inward focus.
The poll also reveals a lack of confidence in President Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict, with his approval rating dropping to 42%. The survey additionally indicates that the majority of Americans believe the U.S. political system is functional, but the problem lies with members of Congress.
