AP-NORC finds that 52 percent of Democrats now say that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. Among all adults, the polling found, 31 percent say the same, with 13 percent of Republicans in agreement.

Support for Israel has continued to crater among Democrats, meanwhile. The poll, released Tuesday, finds that 58 percent of Democrats say the U.S. is too supportive of Israel. This is a double digit increase from January 2024, when AP-NORC found that 45 percent of Democrats said as such. Only 17 percent of Democrats say that the U.S. is not supportive enough in the most recent survey.

At the same time, 62 percent of Democrats say the U.S. does not support Palestinians enough, compared to 49 percent in January 2024.

The polling additionally found that more Jewish adults are critical of the U.S.’s support of Israel than believe the support needs to increase, at 38 percent versus 32 percent. Thirty percent of Jewish adults said they believe Israel is committing genocide, while 49 percent said it is not.
