A recent AP-NORC poll reveals significant partisan divisions among American voters regarding responsibility for the escalation of the Middle East conflict, with about 60% of Democrats attributing 'a lot' of blame to Israel, contrasting with only 25% of Republicans. The poll, conducted before Israel's recent strikes on Iranian military installations, shows that approximately 60% of voters also blame Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran for the conflict. Concerns about a potential broader regional war are high, with half of voters expressing extreme worry, yet only 40% fear U.S. involvement. There is strong bipartisan support (55%) for economic sanctions against Iran, while opinions on military aid to Israel remain divided. Minimal support exists for deploying U.S. troops, with only 20% in favor of such action. The findings highlight the conflict's impact on the 2024 presidential race as candidates engage with diverse voter bases in battleground states.
