A new Wall Street Journal poll published on Sunday found that a growing number of US citizens believe "Israel" has gone too far in its war on Gaza, with 42% of respondents expressing such views.

Poll results also showed that 19% say "Israel" hasn't gone far enough, and 24% said "Israel's" war is adequate.

This comes as US President Joe Biden suffered a heavy drop in his approval rate, as the poll found that 60% of voters disapprove of his handling of the war.

Michigan saw more than 100,000 people vote "uncommitted" at the Democratic presidential primary last week, to express discontentment with Biden's policy towards "Israel."

"The longer this goes on, there is a shift toward more sympathy toward the Palestinians and less toward Israel," said Democratic pollster Michael Bocian, who conducted the Journal poll with Republican Tony Fabrizio.

Some 33% of voters said that the US was not doing enough to help Palestinians, up from 26% in a December poll. Additionally, 25% said the US was doing too much, while another 25% stated that the US was doing the right amount.

Meanwhile, 30% said the US was doing too much to help "Israel," marking a stark increase compared to the 22% who expressed such views in December.

The poll also observed a narrowing age gap between older and younger Democrats.

Useless efforts

The health ministry in Gaza recently announced that the death toll from "Israel's" aggression has exceeded the number of 30,000.

Recently, Biden has sought to appeal to protestors by publicly criticizing the Israeli regime's genocidal campaign in Gaza as "over the top" and cautioning against a ground invasion into Rafah. He imposed sanctions on extremist settlers who attacked Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

But some argue that these measures came "too late" and that the administration hasn't taken any concrete actions to protest Israeli war crimes.

On Tuesday, Biden said that the United States must replenish "Israel's" air defense and ensure that the country does not suffer "regional threats," especially those from Iran.

Two days later, following a horrendous massacre, which saw the murder of over 100 Palestinians shot by Israeli forces as they came to collect boxes of aid, the US engaged in humanitarian assistance by airdropping aid and food supplies using drones.
