Biden's Handling of Israel-Hamas Conflict Boosts Democratic Support

Democratic support for President Joe Biden's handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has slightly increased, with 59% of Democrats approving of his approach, up from 50% in November. However, the issue remains divisive within the party, as Democrats are less enthusiastic about Biden's handling of the war compared to his overall job performance. The poll was conducted before the recent resumption of fighting in the Gaza Strip, which could potentially shift views on the Middle East conflict. Biden has defended his approach, emphasizing his support for Israel while expressing concerns about the Palestinian death toll and the need for an independent Palestinian state.
