American youth are turning against Israel in unprecedented numbers, with a groundbreaking new poll revealing that young Republicans and Democrats now overwhelmingly favor Palestine in a dramatic collapse of traditional US foreign policy consensus. The BIG DATA POLL conducted November 20-21 shows only 29.1% of US voters currently side with Israel, a stunning decline from the 54% sympathy peak measured after October 7, as generational change reshapes America’s Middle East stance.
Youth Rebellion Against Traditional Policy
The most explosive finding shows young Republicans aged 18-29 now prefer Palestine (33.4%) over Israel (27.9%), marking a historic break from their party’s establishment. The rupture is even more pronounced among President Donald Trump’s “America First” base, where 40.8% of 25-29 year-olds express Palestine sympathy. This represents a fundamental rejection of decades of bipartisan Israel support, with young conservatives questioning why American resources should fund overseas conflicts rather than address domestic priorities.
Democrats Overwhelmingly Choose Palestine
The transformation extends across party lines, with Democratic voters now favoring Palestine by nearly two-to-one (31.9% to 17.1%). The shift reflects growing humanitarian concerns about Gaza’s civilian casualties and represents a dramatic departure from traditional Democratic leadership positions. Even independent voters show nearly equal division between both sides, indicating that the pro-Israel consensus that dominated Washington for generations has completely shattered across the American political spectrum.
“Genocide” Label Gains Majority Acceptance
Perhaps most significantly, 52.9% of America First Republicans aged 18-29 now describe Israel’s Gaza operations as “genocide,” while only 29.2% reject this characterization. This terminology shift indicates how deeply the Palestinian narrative has penetrated mainstream American discourse, particularly among youth who consume news through social media rather than traditional outlets. The findings suggest that future US politicians will face increasing pressure to distance themselves from Israel or risk alienating the next generation of voters across both major parties.
