|October 23, 2025
Most Americans - including 80% of Democrats and 41% of Republicans - think the US should recognise Palestinian statehood, a sign that President Donald Trump's opposition to doing so is out of step with public opinion, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.
-
The six-day poll, which closed on Monday, found 59% of respondents backed US recognition of a Palestinian state, while 33% were opposed and the rest were unsure or did not answer the question.
About half of Trump’s Republicans — 53% — opposed doing so, while 41% of Republicans said they would support the US recognising a Palestinian state.
