According to the Harvard-Harris poll, conducted this week, 60 percent of US young adults from ages 18 to 24 believe Israel is committing genocide against the people of Gaza.
The majority of US adults from ages 18 to 24 believe the ongoing crisis in Gaza should be resolved by dismantling the state of Israel and turning it over to Hamas and the Palestinian people, a new poll has found.
The Harvard-Harris poll, conducted this week and released on Friday, showed that 51 percent of young Americans believe the Israeli state should be “ended,” compared with 32 percent who favor a two-state solution. Just 17 percent said Arab countries should absorb the Palestinians to resolve the conflict.

Among all age groups, six in ten Americans call for a two-state deal, while only 19 percent want Israel to be given to the Palestinians.
The survey marked the latest poll showing a dramatic divide between Americans young and old on issues relating to Israel amid the ongoing Israel’s war on Gaza.
Half of the respondents from ages 18 to 24 said they support the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas in the war, while 81 percent of overall participants favor Israel.

Such perceptions may bode poorly for Biden as he seeks reelection in 2024.
The poll found that if the election were held today, former President Donald Trump would defeat Biden by a margin of 43 percent to 35 percent, while independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would garner 17 percent of the votes.
More than seven in ten Americans believe that a vote for Biden would essentially be a vote for Vice President Kamala Harris because the 81-year-old incumbent wouldn’t likely complete a second term.
