(NewsNation) — A NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ poll of registered voters finds support for Israel’s war against Hamas but also for sending aid to displaced and endangered Palestinians.

Americans’ views on President Joe Biden’s performance, crime, inflation and immigration are divided.


The survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted on Oct. 23 and 24. Margins of error vary per question because the number of people who answered each question is different. (Learn more about why margins of error matter here).
