‘Historic Shift’: Polls Have Flipped to Favor Palestinians Over Israel For the ‘First Time Ever,’ Says Enten
The current war between Israel and the terror group Hamas has caused a “historic shift” in public opinion on Israelis and Palestinians, CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten reported on Thursday.

Enten joined anchor John Berman on Thursday following the news that Israel and Hamas had signed a ceasefire agreement that would see the remaining hostages held by Hamas released. President Donald Trump announced remaining hostages would be released by early next week.

Enten, citing polling from Quinnipiac and The New York Times, noted that voters in October 2023 favored Israelis in the war by 48 points. Now, voters overall say they sympathize more with Palestinians by a plus-one margin. Enten broadened out the data to emphasize what a major shift this represents.
