Israel IS pursuing eliminating Hamas in Gaza and Now Hezbollah in Lebanon….
Thes actions are losing the support of American’s who see daily images of the destruction left by Israeli attacks….
And now?
There are daily media of the attacks on Iran added….
Will the actions of the Jewish State cost it politically in America?
Could there be more violence against Jews here in America because of Israel’s actions in the Middle East?
How will these things effect Democrats going into the 2026 Midterm’s and 2028 General Election?
Republicans seem still behind Israel….
But Independants and Democrats are NOT by widening numbers …
And neither are younger voters in general….
American voters’ feelings on Israel and the Palestinian territories have shifted dramatically in recent years, in a sea change that is transforming the Democratic Party and shaping its primaries.
A new NBC News poll underscores the depths of the shift. More registered voters view Israel negatively than positively, a change from a few years ago. The change has been especially pronounced among independents and Democrats, fueling divided congressional primaries in 2026 and potentially shaping the party’s 2028 presidential contest.
When asked whether their sympathies lie more with Israelis or Palestinians, 40% of registered voters say they side more with the Palestinians, while 39% choose the Israelis. The split stood at 45% for Israelis and 13% for Palestinians when NBC News asked the question more than a decade ago, in November 2013.
But while two-thirds of Republicans side with the Israelis, similar to 2013, two-thirds of Democrats now side with the Palestinians.
The data also outlines major changes in how many of those groups view Israel and a Palestinian state generally. Now, almost 60% of Democrats and almost 50% of independents view Israel negatively, a change from when NBC News last asked this question in November 2023, shortly after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Those shifts contributed to the plurality negative view on Israel in the latest survey….

Some of the most notable movement has occurred among young registered voters, the survey shows. They were already skeptical of Israel in 2023, when 26% of voters under 35 years old viewed the nation positively and 37% viewed it negatively. Now, the new data shows almost two-thirds of these voters view Israel negatively, and 6 in 10 say they sympathize more with Palestinians over Israelis….

Horwitt, the Democratic pollster, told NBC News that the years since Hamas’ attack on Israel and the subsequent Israeli military campaign marked a turning point for many voters.
“Israel may have had major military success in its war against Hamas, but its actions have badly damaged its standing among the American people,” he said….
…
Israel’s public image took a slight hit with Republicans between 2023 and 2026 in NBC News polling, with its positive rating declining from 63% to 54%. But two-thirds of Republicans say their sympathies lie more with Israelis than with Palestinians, about the same as when the war in Gaza started.
Independents have moved significantly on the poll questions, too. While 40% of independents had a positive view of Israel in NBC News polling from November 2023, just 21% do now. Negative ratings have jumped too, from 22% in 2023 to 48% now….
