According to Gallup the majority of the US public supports Israel over Palestine, just as it has for decades. It's now "at it's lowest in 25 years" but it's still 46% vs 33% for Palestine, down from around 60% pro Israel in prior years.

About 10% of Americans identify as evangelical protestants

That drops quite bad for Israel though if means more Americans wouldn't mind cutting off support for them.

A lot more Americans support helping Ukraine.


46% is a plurality, not a majority.


Good point!


Friendly reminder that all polls are biased based on a willingness to engage in polls. Response rates are stunningly low (10% is normal [0]) so whatever your polls are saying, they're saying it specifically about a statistically insignificant portion of the population that is biased towards trusting institutions and polls.

Gotta love you turning this into a concept similar to "which sports team do you support more". Following your link, the actual question is "In the Middle East situation, are your sympathies more with the Israelis or more with the Palestinians?". which has a lot different nuance (nuance? Oh wait I forget where I am...)
