Shocking Shift in Public Opinion on Israel! Find Out Who's Really Winning

Sure, here's a rewritten version:

There has been a notable shift in public opinion regarding the U.S.'s support for Israel in its conflict with Hamas. Earlier this year, 31% believed that the U.S. was overly supportive of Israel, but that number has now increased to 38%. Conversely, 20% feel that the U.S. provides too little support, while 40% consider the current level of support appropriate.

The perception of U.S. support for Israel varies significantly based on ideology. Liberals are more likely than others to believe that the U.S. is overly supportive of Israel and not supportive enough of Palestinian civilians. Surprisingly, despite widespread campus protests, the views of young people align closely with those of all adults. It is older individuals, rather than the youngest, who are more inclined to think that the U.S. is overly supportive of Israel.

A survey conducted by Langer Research Associates for ABC found that 37% of respondents trust Trump more than Biden to handle the issue, while 29% trust Biden more, creating an 8-point gap. Interestingly, 33% do not trust either Biden or Trump to manage the situation.

Despite these opinions, the Israel-Hamas conflict is not a major concern for many Americans in the upcoming election. Only 48% consider it an important issue, with just 12% deeming it one of the most important. In a survey testing 10 different issues, the conflict ranks last in importance.

The divide in opinions on U.S. policy towards Israel and Hamas is largely ideological. A majority of liberals believe that the U.S. is too supportive of Israel, while a smaller percentage of moderates and conservatives share this view. Conversely, more liberals think that the U.S. is not supportive enough of Palestinian civilians compared to moderates and conservatives

Partisanship also plays a role in these views. A higher percentage of independents and Democrats believe the U.S. is too supportive of Israel, while fewer Republicans share this opinion. On the other hand, more Democrats feel that the U.S. is not supportive enough of Palestinian civilians compared to independents and Republicans.

Despite protests primarily occurring on college campuses, the views of adults aged 18-24 align closely with those of all adults. It is older individuals, particularly seniors, who are less likely to believe that the U.S. is overly supportive of Israel.

The shift in views since January towards the U.S.'s policy on Israel is mainly seen among independents and those with a center-left ideology. The perception that the U.S. is too supportive of Israel has increased among somewhat liberals and independents, while remaining relatively unchanged among very liberals and conservatives. Additionally, there has been an increase in this perception among college graduates and women compared to non-graduates and men, respectively.

Interestingly, the perception that the U.S. is too supportive of Israel has remained almost the same among 18- to 24-year-olds since January, while it has increased among those aged 25 and older.
