The overwhelming majority of Florida voters sympathize more with the Israelis than with Palestinians in a statewide poll about the situation in the Middle East.
Florida Atlantic University/Mainstreet Research/PolCom Lab poll released Thursday found 59% of the state’s voters said their sympathies are more with the Israelis, while 14% said their sympathies are more with the Palestinians.
Another 17% said neither and 9% said they didn’t know.
The support for the Israelis was driven largely by middle-aged and older voters and Republicans. Among younger voters and Democrats, the Israelis had notably less support and Palestinians more support.
