Harvard poll reveals large majority of Americans support Israel in war against Hamas

Consistent with last month’s poll, 78 per cent of respondents believe Hamas should be removed from power in Gaza but remain split on how Gaza should be administered: 34 per cent believe it should be administered by Israel, 28 per cent by the Palestinian Authority, and 39 per cent believe it should be administered by a new authority set up through negotiations with Arab nations.

Also consistent with last month’s polling, 67 per cent of respondents say they support the US actively striking Iran-backed terrorist groups, though over half of those surveyed say Biden’s response to such groups has been too weak.

Just over half of those surveyed said that Congress should pass $14 billion in aid for Israel and humanitarian aid for Gaza to help Israel defeat Hamas, while voters were split on whether Congress should approve an aid package for Ukraine in its war against Russia.

The Harvard Harris Poll is a monthly poll released by Harvard’s Centre for American Political Studies (CAPS) and Harris Insights and Analytics. It surveys over 2,000 registered voters on topics pertaining to current national issues such as confidence in political figures, perception of the economy, immigration and foreign policy.
