Pew: Clinton supporters more pro-Israel than Sanders supporters
Supporters of Hillary Clinton are more likely to favor Israel over the Palestinians (47 percent to 27 percent), while backers of Sen. Bernie Sanders are more likely to favor the Palestinians (39 percent to 33 percent for Israel), according to a survey by the Pew Research Center published today.
The survey finds that some 27% of millennials say they are more sympathetic to the Palestinians than Israel — a threefold increase from 2006, when the figure was 9%. The share of those favoring Israel has held steady at about 43 percent.
