\n

\n President Joe Biden, back from his trip to Israel, will appeal to Americans to continue funding its ally in the country\u2019s war against Hamas in a primetime speech on Thursday night.\n <\/p>\n

\n He does so as there are divisions within his own party on how the US is dealing with the conflict.\n <\/p>\n

\n But while a few of his Democratic colleagues in Congress may not agree with Biden on Israel, most voters overall and Democratic voters do. It\u2019s one of his strongest issues among voters. The same can be said of his policy on Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine, which is another subject of Thursday night\u2019s speech.\n <\/p>\n

\n Take a look at polling released by Quinnipiac University on Tuesday. A number of the questions asked in the survey on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are illuminating (keeping in mind, of course, that events can shift opinions).\n <\/p>\n

\n Just 13% of registered voters answered that their sympathies lie more with the Palestinians than the Israelis based on what they know about the Middle East.\n <\/p>\n

\n Sixty-one percent said their sympathies lie with Israel, which was the highest amount of support Israel had received on this question since Quinnipiac first started asking it in 2001. It\u2019s up considerably from 41% back in 2021, when Quinnipiac last posed the question to voters when Israel was in armed conflict with Hamas. A Fox News poll taken just after Hamas\u2019 attack on Israel last week also showed that voters\u2019 sympathy for Israel had climbed since 2021.\n <\/p>\n

\n Notably, much of this shift from 2021 is being driven by Democrats. Democratic support for Israel compared to Palestinians has been declining for over a decade.\n <\/p>\n

\n In Quinnipiac\u2019s latest poll, 48% of Democratic voters say their sympathies are more with Israelis compared to 22% who said Palestinians. That\u2019s a massive change from the 46% for Palestinians and 23% for Israelis in May 2021. Fox\u2019s poll, likewise, has shown support for Israel up by 17 points among Democrats compared to 2021.\u202f\n <\/p>\n

\n When it comes to America\u2019s role as a strong ally of Israel in this conflict, more than half of Democrats polled by Quinnipiac appear to be more likely to side with Biden when it comes to support for Israel. Although 28% of Democratic voters believe America has been too supportive of Israel, 60% say America\u2019s support has been about right.\n <\/p>\n

\n A majority of voters (52%) concur that America has it right when it comes to support for Israel. The rest are split evenly between saying America is too supportive (20%) and not supportive enough (20%).\n <\/p>\n

\n Indeed, the issue of support for Israel is one of Biden\u2019s strongest. More voters, polled by Quinnipiac, approve of Biden\u2019s response to Hamas\u2019 terrorist attack on Israel (42%) and his policy towards Israel overall (42%) than disapprove (37% and 39% respectively).\n <\/p>\n

\n These +5 percentage point and +3 percentage point net approval ratings are significantly higher than his overall net approval rating (which is -18 percentage points).\n <\/p>\n

\n Another issue on which Biden does relatively well is what the US is doing to support Ukraine after Russia invaded the country \u2013 the other major topic of his speech on Thursday night. The Quinnipiac poll shows 47% of voters approve of Biden\u2019s response to the invasion, while 45% disapprove.\n <\/p>\n

\n And as held with Israel (76%), most voters agree with Biden that supporting Ukraine (65%) is in America\u2019s national interest.\n <\/p>\n

\n This may be one of the reasons why Biden felt comfortable with the US providing Ukraine with long-range missiles in recent days, according to multiple US officials. Those missiles will reportedly allow Ukraine to hit Russian targets that had been out of reach.\n <\/p>\n

\n This positive polling for Biden on Ukraine hides some divisions, however. While Democrats are more likely to say that backing Ukraine is in America\u2019s national interest (87%) than they are for Israel (76%), Republicans are the opposite (84% on Israel and 49% on Ukraine).\n <\/p>\n

\n Republicans\u2019 skepticism about backing Ukraine lines up with other polling questions. The clear majority of Republicans (61%) say we\u2019ve done too much for Ukraine, which is up from 7% at the beginning of Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine.\n <\/p>\n

\n Still, it would be a mistake to say it\u2019s just Republicans who are causing Biden a polling headache on Ukraine. Even as Americans support Ukraine, the appetite for Congress approving more aid for the country in its war efforts is lackluster.\n <\/p>\n

\n A CNN\/SSRS poll from August found that 55% of voters overall were opposed to it, including 71% of Republicans. Many Republicans in the US House have been wavering on giving more funding to Ukraine.\n <\/p>\n

\n Biden\u2019s job is to try and get some of those Republicans who support Ukraine\u2019s efforts on board with funding.\n <\/p>\n

\n Whether Biden will be able to do so is unclear. He\u2019ll have an easier time on Israel, where a majority of Democrats (59%), independents (61%) and Republicans (79%) approve of America giving weapons and military equipment to the country in response to Hamas\u2019 attack.\n <\/p>\n

\n All that said, Biden is speaking to his strengths on Thursday night when discussing either Israel or Ukraine. He\u2019s much better off politically talking about these issues than pretty much anything else.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
