WASHINGTON (TND) — Researchers at Quinnipiac University say younger Americans are upping their support for Palestine despite backing Israel at the onset of the ongoing war.

The poll questioned 1,574 registered voters throughout the U.S. and asked questions about politics and current world events. Among 18 to 34-year-olds, 66% disapprove of Israel’s response to the October 7 attack. This number is up from a prior poll on November 2, when 52% expressed disapproval.

Of the 18 to 34-year-old respondents, 52% said they sympathize more with Palestine over Israel. Just a month ago, only 26% said they sympathized with Palestine, representing a 100% increase.

Democrats, who had previously supported Israel by 48%, now say their support lies with Palestine by 41%. Just 29% support Israel, according to the poll.

When asked who was responsible for the October 7 attacks regardless of feelings about the conflict, 69% of Democrats admitted that Hamas was to blame. A whopping 89% of Republicans felt the same.

Nearly three-quarters of Democrats also admitted supporting Israel is in the best interest of the U.S. However, 18 to 34-year-olds were split, with 47% agreeing and 45% disagreeing.

More than 7 in 10 voters, 73%, say they are either very concerned or somewhat concerned the war could lead to a terrorist attack on American soil.

When asked questions about the fighting in Ukraine, 56% of Democrats said the U.S. is doing enough to help the country, and 29% said the U.S. is doing too little. Among Republicans, 60% said the U.S. is doing too much and only 11% thought more could be done.

The survey also covered sentiments concerning worries about threats posed by world powers. Democrats named China, 41%, and Russia, 40%, as their greatest concerns. Republicans overwhelming chose China at 75%.

The findings come at a time when sympathy for Hamas terrorists and Israel are nearly equal among college students. A separate survey found 22% of students felt sympathy for Hamas, and 26% said the same of Israel.
