A poll this month found that Americans are almost evenly divided on how to help Israel or Palestinians in Gaza.

The Economist/YouGov poll found that 25% of respondents were in favor of more foreign aid for Palestinians, another 25% were for less aid, another 25% were for the same amount of aid, and the final 24% were not sure. Republican respondents were least likely to be for more aid at 9% and most likely to be for less aid at 41%. Democratic respondents were most likely to be in favor of more aid at 44%, and only 10% were in favor of less.

Regarding military aid to Israel in its fight against Hamas, 20% called for more aid, 26% called for less aid, 34% called to maintain the same amount of aid, and 21% were unsure. Considering party affiliations, survey respondents were split, with 34% of Democratic respondents and 38% of Republican respondents in favor of maintaining aid. Thirty-four percent of Republican respondents and 15% of Democratic respondents favored more aid, leaving 16% of Republicans and 32% of Democrats in favor of decreasing aid. Overall, 60% of respondents found it was at least somewhat important for the U.S. to support Israel, while only 18% found it not important.

About one-fourth of respondents said they were equally sympathetic with Israelis and Palestinians. Another 37% reported their sympathies were more with Israelis, and 14% were more with Palestinians.

Congress has not passed a bill to aid Israel in either chamber since the House elected Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) speaker. Instead, the State Department bypassed congressional approval twice to use its emergency powers to sell ammunition to Israel.
