Nearly half of Democrats disapprove of how President Joe Biden is handling the Israel-Hamas conflict
, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research — showing a deep divide within his party over the war. The poll found 50% of Democrats approve of how Biden has navigated the conflict while 46% disapprove — and the two groups diverge substantially in their views of U.S. support for Israel.
More than 20 Democrats voted Tuesday to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in Congress, for her criticisms of Israel and invocation of a phrase that some Jewish groups say advocates for the destruction of Israel. Tlaib has said she wants a ceasefire in Gaza and called this week for 'peaceful coexistence” between Israelis and Palestinians. In South Florida, many Jews have lauded Biden's support of Israel. Trump won Florida in 2020.
