An overwhelming share of likely Democratic primary voters - 71% - say the US should restrict military aid to Israel until it stops attacking civilians in Gaza, supports Palestinian rights, and commits to a long-term peace process, according to a recent Data for Progress-Zeteo poll of likely Democratic primary voters.

As the Democratic Party faces an identity crisis following its 2024 loss, the new data point is yet another indicator that Democratic voters want to depart from the party establishment consensus in favor of something more progressive.

And it's not just Israel-Palestine.
The voters surveyed were asked to choose between a more progressive and a more moderate approach to six issues: the Israel-Palestine conflict, transgender sports policy, economic policy, healthcare, climate policy, and immigration.
On nearly every issue, the poll found likely Democratic primary voters clearly favored a more progressive approach.

The dynamic was strongest in the case of Israel-Palestine.
While 71% of respondents preferred the US condition military aid to Israel, just 20% chose the more moderate option: continuing to support Israel and "its right to defend itself," while encouraging "efforts to reduce civilian harm and promote long-term peace" - the Biden administration's posture.
