Nearly two-thirds of Americans disapprove of Biden's handling of Israel-Hamas war: Poll

Nearly two-thirds of Americans say they disapprove of President Biden's handling of Israel's ongoing war against Hamas, according to an Associated Press poll released Wednesday.

While Americans overwhelmingly support Israel's war against Hamas, they showed less support for the U.S. providing military aid to Israel in the conflict. Roughly 56% of Americans say Israel's response to Hamas Oct. 7 massacre is about right or has not gone far enough, the poll found.

Meanwhile, only a third of Americans approve of how Biden has responded to the conflict, with 63% saying they disapprove, a figure that mirrors his approval rating more generally.

The AP poll of 1,239 adults was conducted Nov. 2-6, 2023, using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, designed to represent the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
