Forty-two percent (42%) of voters now say the U.S. should not support Israel or Palestine in the current conflict. That is a new high and the first time that number has ever broken 40%. Among the remaining voters, 31% say we should support Israel (a new low) and 16% say we should support the Palestinians. Another 11% remain undecided.

Days after the initial Hamas attack that started the current conflict, 53% said the U.S. should side with Israel. Support for Israel peaked at 62% in the coming weeks. However, by the end of the year, support for Israel had waned; Israel has not has not had a majority voicing support for it since November 2023.

When the conflict began, 25% said the U.S. should support neither side. Prior to this most recent survey, support for neutrality peaked at 36% in May of 2024.

A majority of voters (53%) now support a two-state solution to the conflict, up from 46% in July. However, 47% say that both sides are equally to blame for the lack of such a solution. That is up 6 points from July.

In a similar vein, 43% say both sides are equally to blame for the lack of peace in the middle east, while 22% blame Israel (up 5 points) and 21% blame the Palestinians, down a point from July.
