According to Gallup data, there has been a significant change in American public opinion towards Palestinians and Israelis in 2026.

This shift in sympathy stems from a perception survey conducted by the consulting firm. US respondents were asked, "In the Middle East situation, do you sympathize more with Israel or Palestine?"

The results showed that Americans are more sympathetic to Palestinians than Israelis in the Middle East situation, with a percentage of 41% compared to 36%.

"The 5% difference is not statistically significant, but it contrasts with the clear advantage for Israel last year (46% vs. 33%)," wrote Gallup's Senior Global News Writer, Benedict Vigers, on Friday (February 27, 2026).

The high preference of US citizens for Palestinians over Israel only emerged after 25 years of surveys on this issue.

In fact, Gallup calculated that between 2001 and 2018, the average difference could reach 43% points. In 2019, Gallup observed that public opinion began to narrow.

A few years later, Hamas launched a resistance against Israel on October 7, 2023, and a war broke out. Israel retaliated by bombing Gaza.

"The cumulative effect of gradual changes in US attitudes since then has led to Israel no longer being viewed more sympathetically," he said.

Gallup's survey is conducted annually in February. The 2026 data is based on telephone interviews conducted from February 2 to 16 with 1,001 adults or people aged 18 and above.

The respondents were randomly selected and lived in 50 US states and the District of Columbia. The sampling error margin is approximately 4% at a 95% confidence level.
