Iraq dominated the headlines throughout the fall of 2002 and into the winter of 2003. Public opinion on the wisdom of war, however, stabilized relatively early and slightly in favor of war. Gallup found that from August 2002 through early March 2003 the share of Americans favoring war hovered in a relatively narrow range between a low of 52 percent and a high of 59 percent. By contrast, the share of the public opposed to war fluctuated between 35 percent and 43 percent.

Looks like Americans are even more happy with murdering people if its done by a puppet.

18-34? Gen z adults are 18-25 so that's more millennial than zoomer. Also, smaller subgroups have a bigger margin of error, especially since they only polled 1000 people total (through texts people have to respond to from an unknown number nonetheless)

Not gonna happen, but I'd wanna see a poll on 18-22 yo college students, I'd like to think we're much less pro-Israel seeing we're a lot less likely to get news from mainstream mass media. Completely anecdotal: but I don't know a single person my age that supports Israel, everyone either supports Palestine or are neutral/ignorant. I've seen a ton of my mutuals on social media show support for Palestine too, none for Israel, and I've seen a ton of comments echoing the whole "no one our age supports Israel" sentiment too
