A plurality of Americans back what the United States is doing to support Israel in the war against the Islamic militant group Hamas and an additional 29% think the country should be doing even more.
Still, a majority of the public also disapproves of President Joe Biden's handling of the conflict as well as a range of other issues, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll, a warning sign for him as he launches his bid for reelection.
Forty-nine percent of Americans say the United States is doing "about the right amount" to support Israel in its war with Hamas, while 29% say the U.S. is actually doing too little.
Only 18% say the U.S. is doing "too much" in the aftermath of the attacks.
A slight majority (53%) of Americans say the U.S. has a responsibility to protect Israeli civilians. Conversely, 54% say the U.S. does not have a responsibility to protect Palestinian civilians. An even larger majority (63%) say it's not the U.S.' responsibility to work toward Palestinian statehood. Half the country (50%) believes the U.S. does not have a responsibility to ensure peace in the Middle East, while 46% says it does.
Heading into a presidential election year, Biden will have to battle low confidence in his leadership across a number of issues. A majority of Americans continue to disapprove of his handling of the economy, crime, climate change, inflation, gun violence, the situation with Russia and Ukraine and immigration across the U.S.-Mexico border. Approval of Biden's handling of crime and climate change has declined since the January ABC News/Ipsos poll.

Scroll down for the methodology.
Very cooked poll.
18% = AAs + Muslims?
Apparently the majority of US Citizens are smart then the US political/media class
I'm surprised that ABC would admit this. See Tagline.
I am cheering on both sides of the conflict to “win” but I trust the game goes to quadruple over time.
Biden is doing what he is told by Obozo and Soros.
Yep.
