Public Opinion Shifts on Biden's Handling of Israel-Hamas Conflict

Recent polls indicate a shift in public opinion regarding President Biden's handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict. The data suggests that older Americans are more likely to have an opinion about and approve of the administration's response compared to younger Americans. In contrast, younger Americans, particularly those under 50, believe Biden is favoring Israelis too much, while older Americans are more likely to say Biden is favoring Palestinians too much.

The White House has been urging Israeli restraint and working towards a revitalization of the two-state solution. However, Biden's approach has been met with criticism from some quarters. Many young progressives are protesting the administration's stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict, leading to a disconnect between Democratic leaders and young voters. Biden's support for Israel has caused disillusionment among young people, who see it as aligning with authoritarianism abroad.

Despite this, there has been an increase in Democratic support for President Biden's handling of the situation. A survey found that 59 percent of Democrats approve of Biden's handling of the situation, up from 50 percent in November. Additionally, 75 percent of Democrats approve of Biden's overall job performance. However, Biden's overall approval rating among U.S. adults is 41%, close to the lowest score of his presidency.

The situation is still evolving, and the public's opinion may change as more information becomes available. The polls were conducted during a period of increased concern from Biden and top U.S. officials about civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip and efforts to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas.
