The Poll You Funded Is Here
We bypassed Beltway pollsters to ask Americans what they actually think about Gaza and Lebanon. The results may surprise Washington.

Dear friends and supporters of Voices for Justice in Palestine,
First, thank you. Thousands of dollars in donations from supporters like you paid for the poll we're releasing today, and it would not exist otherwise. Independent polling on Israel and Palestine is expensive, and most of the data that shapes how this issue gets discussed in Washington comes from sources with very different interests than ours. Because of you, we got to ask the questions we wanted to ask, and we get to put the answers directly into the hands of organizers, advocates, and the press.
In partnership with the Arab American Institute, we commissioned John Zogby Strategies to survey 1,001 likely U.S. voters in mid-April about Israel's wars on Gaza and Lebanon. The findings are striking, and we'll be bringing this data into our conversations with members of Congress, campaigns, and reporters in the weeks and months ahead.
Read it for yourself here. And thank you, again, for making it possible.
With gratitude,
Burhan, Mark, and Kate
for the Board of Directors, Voices for Justice in Palestine
