A recent Harvard-Harris poll has unveiled a surprising shift in opinions among young Americans regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The survey, conducted this week, indicates that over half of US adults aged 18 to 24 advocate for the dissolution of the state of Israel, with 51% supporting this stance, compared to 32% favoring a two-state solution. These findings highlight a significant departure from the preferences of the broader population, where six in ten Americans, across all age groups, endorse a two-state resolution.

The poll also exposed a stark generational divide on issues related to Israel and the Jewish people. A notable 73% of Americans, spanning all age groups, disagreed with the assertion that “Jews as a class are oppressors.” However, among 18- to 24-year-olds, two-thirds agreed with this statement. Additionally, 50% of the youngest respondents expressed support for Hamas in the conflict, in contrast to the 81% overall favoring Israel.

Beyond the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the survey delved into broader societal issues. It revealed that 79% of young adults believe “white people are oppressors” and should face preferential treatment in college admissions and employment. This sentiment sharply contrasts with the opinion of 65% of Americans across all age groups, who oppose such anti-white discrimination.

In terms of political sentiment, the poll showcased a decline in approval for President Joe Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, with only 42% expressing approval, down from 45% in November. These perceptions could impact Biden’s chances for reelection in 2024, as the poll indicated a net favorability rating of minus 10% for the president. Notably, former President Donald Trump would reportedly defeat Biden by a margin of 43% to 35% if an election were held today, with independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gaining 17% of the votes.

The findings also underscore concerns about the future of the nation, with only 32% believing the country is on the “right track” and 33% expressing optimism about the direction of the economy. Such sentiments may pose challenges for Biden’s reelection bid, as over seven in ten Americans consider a vote for him as essentially a vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, given concerns about the incumbent’s potential completion of a second term.
