A Gallup poll conducted from December 1-20, 2023, revealed a lack of clear consensus among the American public regarding the US' involvement in the war on Gaza.

Approximately 41% believe the US is  “about the right amount” to "resolve the conflict", 39% think it's not doing enough, and 19% feel it's doing too much.

The poll also highlights partisan differences, with 40% of both Republicans and Democrats expressing the view that the US isn't doing enough.

However, Democrats are more likely (48%) to believe the US involvement is appropriate, while Republicans (26%) are more inclined to think it's too much.

The survey took place two months after the outbreak of the war, and as a weeklong truce ended. Israeli officials have indicated the likelihood of ongoing war for months.

A November poll found Americans divided in their approval of "Israel's" military action, with Republicans more approving than Democrats.

Despite being a longstanding ally of the US, "Israel's" actions have drawn criticism, especially from some Democrats concerned about civilian casualties and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

The poll also gauged perceptions of US support for "Israel" and the Palestinians. About 38% believe "Israel" receives the right amount of support, while opinions on US support for Palestinians are more evenly divided.

Partisan differences emerge again, with 40% of Democrats and independents feeling the US provides too much support for "Israel," compared to 26% of Republicans.

On the Palestinian side, a majority of Republicans (52%) think the US supports them too much, while 49% of Democrats feel US support for the Palestinians is lacking.

The poll mentions that Americans' views on US support for "Israel" and the Palestinians have shifted since 2006, with more people now believing the US is doing too little for both groups.

Additionally, it notes a change in perception of Benjamin Netanyahu, "Israel's" longest-serving prime minister, whose unfavorable rating among Americans has increased to 47%, surpassing his favorable rating of 33%.

Republicans, historically more positive toward Netanyahu, continue to view him favorably, but his overall favorability has declined across party lines since 2019.
