Grace GilsonFor the first time, more American voters say they sympathize with Palestinians than with Israelis, according to a new poll from The New York Times and Siena University.
In the new poll released Monday, 35% of registered American voters said they sympathized more with Palestinians compared to 34% with Israel.
In addition to the slim preference for the Palestinians, the poll demonstrated a significant waning in support for Israel among Americans during the nearly two-year war in Gaza.
It found that a slight majority, 51%, of registered voters disapprove of the United States providing additional economic and military support to Israel.
The findings also underscore a growing partisan divide over the conflict, with 54% of Democrats saying they sympathize more with Palestinians, and 64% of Republicans with Israelis.
