Independents\u2019 approval dropped to 29 percent from 47 percent, and Democrats\u2019 approval dropped to just 18 percent from 36 percent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">An <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/israel-palestinians-poll-biden-war-gaza-4159b28d313c6c37abdb7f14162bcdd1\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">AP-NORC poll<\/a> conducted in late January found that half of U.S. adults felt Israel\u2019s military response in Gaza had \u201cgone too far,\u201d up from four in 10 in November. That poll also showed a rise in public disapproval across political parties, by some 15 percentage points for Republicans, 13 for Independents and 5 for Democrats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Another recent survey from the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/2024\/03\/21\/majority-in-u-s-say-israel-has-valid-reasons-for-fighting-fewer-say-the-same-about-hamas\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Pew Research Center<\/a> \u2014 which, like Gallup and AP-NORC, is a well-regarded leader in the polling industry \u2014 found notable schisms in public opinion along generational and religious lines. Younger adults and Muslim Americans were significantly more likely than older adults and Jewish Americans to say that the way Israel was carrying out its response to Hamas\u2019s Oct. 7 attack was unacceptable, according to the poll conducted from mid- to late February.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It oversampled Muslim and Jewish Americans, weighted to reflect their respective proportion of the overall population, to more reliably and separately analyze their views.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A majority of Americans disapprove of Israel\u2019s military actions in Gaza, in a pronounced shift from November, according to a new poll released by Gallup on Wednesday.
