Iran Press/ America: The survey by Data for Progress, in collaboration with Zeteo, found that 56 percent of Democratic respondents agree with genocide accusations against Israel, while only 22 percent reject them.
Overall, a plurality of 39 percent of respondents said Israel is carrying out a genocide in Gaza.
The UN defines genocide as “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”, including killings and measures to prevent births.
The findings could spell political trouble for Biden who has been facing increasing pressure from his Democratic base over his “ironclad” support for Israel, months before the presidential elections in November.
The survey, which included responses from 1,265 likely US voters, also found that 70 percent of respondents support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
At least 34,844 people have been killed and 78,404 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7.
