That was true of big majorities of both parties — 77% of Republicans and 69% of Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notably, independents were less likely to believe this — 54% thought the U.S. should publicly support Israel, but a third said the U.S. shouldn’t say or do anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are huge age and racial gaps — 78% of those 45 and older think the U.S. should take a publicly pro-Israel stance, but just 48% of those under 45 said so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://apps.npr.org/dailygraphics/graphics/marist-israel-support-20231013/?initialWidth=953&childId=responsive-embed-marist-israel-support-20231013&parentTitle=As%20Israel-Hamas%20war%20continues%2C%20Americans%20remain%20supportive%20of%20Israel%20in%20new%20poll%20%3A%20NPR&parentUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.npr.org%2F2023%2F10%2F13%2F1205627092%2Famerican-support-israel-biden-middle-east-hamas-poll\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is particularly true of the youngest Americans eligible to vote — just 48% of Gen Z/millennials said the U.S. should publicly voice support, as compared to 63% of Gen X, 83% of baby boomers and 86% of the Silent/Greatest generation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along racial lines, just 51% of nonwhites said the U.S. should take such a public stance supporting Israel, while 72% of whites thought it should.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Worries the war could spread\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Eight in 10 said they are concerned that the Israel-Hamas war will lead to a broader conflict in the Middle East.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notably, there was a significant gender gap here. Women were 16 points more likely to worry that the conflict would spread (87%) compared to men (71%).\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Israel’s response so far\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>At this point, more Americans say Israel’s response has been about right — 44% said so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About a quarter said, though, that it’s been too much and roughly another quarter said it’s been too \u003cem style=\"font-weight: inherit\">little\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic men were the most likely to say that Israel’s response has been too much (44%), followed by those who live in big cities (41%), those under 45 (37%) and Biden supporters (37%).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, white men without college degrees (45%), Republican men (44%), white evangelical Christians (40%) and Donald Trump supporters (39%) were the most likely to say it’s been too little.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Slim majority say U.S. support for Israel has made the region safer\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>By a 53%-41% margin, respondents said they believe U.S. support for Israel makes the Middle East safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are some notable deviations, particularly among younger Americans.

But he drops 9 points with his party when it comes to his handling of the Israel-Hamas war.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He continues to struggle with independents (32% approve of his job performance overall) and those under 45 (41%).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even among groups that have supported him in the past, he lags in approval.
