Poll Says U.S. Adults Believe Israel War Has ‘Gone Too Far’

WASHINGTON (AP) — A new poll shows half of U.S. adults believe Israel’s war in Gaza has “gone too far.” The poll by The Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found growing disapproval among Republicans and political independents for Israel’s conduct of its military offensive in Gaza. And notably for President Joe Biden, about 7 out of 10 young people in Biden’s Democratic Party disapprove of his approach to the conflict. Overall, 31% of U.S. adults approve of Biden’s handling of the conflict, including just 46% of Democrats. The U.S. has become increasingly isolated in its support of Israel as the Palestinian death toll rises.
