According to a new ABC News-Ipsos survey released on Friday, around 40% of Americans believe the United States is providing too much assistance to "Israel" in its war on Gaza.

The poll shows that nearly four out of every ten Americans believe the US is doing too much to back the occupation, up from three out of ten in January.

In contrast, only one-third of those questioned believe Washington is doing too little to help.

Only 29% of Republicans believe the US is participating too much in the war, while 40% of Democrats say so.

The poll also revealed that Americans feel former President Donald Trump is the greatest person to resolve the situation in the Middle East with 37% indicating they trust him and 29% trusting Joe Biden. 
However, one-third indicated that they did not support either candidate on the topic.

The latest Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll reveals that since October 7, the support in swing states for US aid to "Israel" has significantly decreased, as November's elections draw nearer.

Results show that 51% of voters in the seven swing states said they either strongly or somewhat support aid to "Israel", which is down 11 percentage points from November when 62% supported it. 

The poll surveyed registered voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

The results will serve as a tricky dilemma for Biden, who has been showcasing unwavering support for the occupation and unconditional terms for military aid. Yet, Biden has tried to reach out to Arab and Muslim communities in the critical battleground state of Michigan - mostly to no avail. 

Not only has the US provided "Israel" will billions of dollars as it conducts its genocide against Palestinians, but it has recently moved to suppress pro-Palestine demonstrations and sentiments in the country in a sweeping aggressive motion. 

Most recently, the House of Representatives passed legislation to update the definition of antisemitism for the enforcement of federal anti-discrimination laws concerning educational programs. 

The bill, dubbed the Antisemitism Awareness Act, comes at a crucial time when students all over the United States are protesting the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. 

The updated definition will adopt the definition of antisemitism created by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). If eventually enforced, the definition would mark a grave turn of events for American citizens and residents opposing the Israeli occupation. The IHRA has spread dangerous rhetoric in which any action against the "state of Israel" would be considered anti-semitism.

Biden has accused protesters in dozens of universities across the United States of antisemitism for participating in protests calling on their universities to divest from the Israeli occupation.
