Poll News

More than three-quarters of Americans believe colleges and universities should call in police to protect students from violence and nearly half say pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campuses should be banned, a new poll showed.

The Morning Consult poll of 1,986 registered voters taken April 27-28 comes amid thousands of arrests after students protesting Israel's war against Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip set up tent encampments on college campuses and seized administrative buildings.

The poll, which had a margin of error of +/- 2 percentage points, found that 76% believe schools should call police to protect students from violence, and 47% believe they should ban pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campus. Only 30% believe that pro-Palestinian protests should be banned, only 41% said pro-Israel demonstrations should be banned, and just 10% opposed police being called to protect students from violence.

When asked if they want the war to end, 60% said they are in favor of a cease-fire, including 75% of Democrats, 54% of independents, and 52% of Republicans. Plus, 58% favored sending humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and 47% were against sending military aid to Israel.
