 Americans are much more likely to sympathize with the Israelis than the Palestinians in the Middle East conflict, but the wave of pro-Israel sentiment that followed Hamas's October 7 attack has faded somewhat.

The October 21 - 24 Economist/YouGov poll found that 41% of Americans sympathize most with the Israelis, compared to 13% who sympathize with the Palestinians and 28% who sympathize with both sides equally. But that's down from the 48% who sympathized with the Israelis according to last week's poll. The share of Americans sympathizing with the Palestinians is up from 10% to 13%, while the share sympathizing with both sides rose from 23% to 28%.
