A new poll for Data from Progress that surveyed Americans ages 18 to 29 who are likely to vote in the upcoming presidential election found the majority of young Republicans favor cutting off US military aid to Israel.
According to the poll, 52% of young Republicans favor an arms embargo on Israel, while 36% oppose the idea, and 17% said they were unsure. The results signal that Israel is in trouble when it comes to long-term support from the US since Republicans are the more pro-Israel party.
The poll also found that 62% of young Democrats were in favor of ending weapons shipments to Israel, while 21% opposed, and 17% said they were unsure.
Factoring in independent and third-party voters, the poll found that 55% of all likely voters ages 18 to 29 support a US arms embargo on Israel, while 29% oppose the idea and 16% are undecided.
The poll focused on how young Americans plan to vote this November, and the majority favored Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump. Both candidates have vowed to continue arming Israel, which enables the genocidal slaughter of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Previous Data for Progress polls have found that the majority of Americans favor a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. The Biden administration has claimed it seeks a temporary truce but hasn’t put any real pressure on Israel to agree to one since the weapons shipments have continued to flow.
