Washington, DC – Over the weekend leading up to the final day of voting in the 2024 Presidential election, the Arab American Institute commissioned a poll of likely voters. The poll focused on the role of Palestine and Israel in this election. 1,005 voters were surveyed from November 2nd to November 3rd with a margin of error of +/- 3.2%.

Voters were asked five key questions on Palestine and Israel. The results highlight broadly popular policy actions for the next President of the United States to take to address the unfolding genocide in Gaza and the expansion of violence into Lebanon. 

A majority of both Harris (77%) and Trump (51%) voters say it is very or somewhat important that the United States demand an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza. 

-64% of Harris voters and 37% of Trump voters agreed that the next President should apply greater pressure on Israel to end the occupation of Palestinian land and allow the creation of a Palestinian state. 

-53% of Harris voters and 34% of Trump voters believe current U.S. policy towards the Middle East is too one-sided in favor of Israel. 

- A majority of Harris voters (65%) and a plurality of Trump voters (45%) believe the United States should comply with U.S. laws and not provide unrestricted assistance to the Israeli government if it continues to put civilian lives at risk in Gaza and Lebanon.

"Among a deeply divided electorate, Trump and Harris voters agree on a way forward when it comes to Israel and Palestine. In the last hours of this critical election, American voters have defined a policy framework that would save lives. They want to see a realignment of the U.S. approach to Israel and Palestine with the values of the American people. They want a ceasefire, and they want to see restrictions on U.S. military aid to Israel," said AAI President, James Zogby.
