I don’t think anyone thought this wasn’t the case.
But Israel is a lot more popular than the Ukraine with the government.
A majority of American voters back sending more military aid to Ukraine as its war with Russia nears the two-year mark — but the electorate is split on giving further assistance to Israel to fight its war against Hamas, according to a new poll.
The Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday found that 46% of registered voters are against providing the Jewish state with further military help in its fight against the terror group, compared with 45% who are for it. The remaining 9% said they didn’t know or declined to give an answer.
Compared to a poll released last month by the Connecticut university, opposition to additional assistance to Israel has increased among every age cohort — though a majority of voters aged 50 and up still support more Israel aid.
While 49% of voters said they sympathized more with the Israelis than the Palestinians, that’s a five-percentage-point drop from last month. The proportion of respondents who said they sympathized more with the Palestinians was unchanged at 24%, while 27% said they were unsure.
By contrast, 55% of voters told Quinnipiac they supported sending additional military aid to Ukraine, up one percentage point from November. Another 38% said they were opposed — down three percentage points from the previous month.

The Quinnipiac poll also found that 58% of Democrats want to halt military aid to Israel — a 10% increase from November — while 65% of Republicans support additional assistance.
Voters are also split in judging Israel’s response to the Oct. 7 terror attack by Hamas, with 43% approving and 42% disapproving — and 63% of Democrats in the latter category
By political party, 40% of Democrats said they sympathize more with the Palestinians while 77% of Republicans said they sympathized more with Israelis.
On Ukraine, 77% of Democrats and 51% of independents back further military assistance to Kyiv, but a majority of Republicans (51%) oppose the idea.
I don’t even think these numbers are real.
But Americans are very stupid.
They are very fat and stupid.
