Ceasefire Poll 2024:

Religious Groups’ Views on Ceasefire

The crisis in Gaza has captured the attention of the world. Since October 7, several surveys have captured American public opinion on the situation. The missing voice has been that of religious groups, particularly Muslim and Jewish Americans, who are often perceived as on opposing sides of this crisis.

This survey aimed to assess the views of these two key American religious groups, as well as Catholic, Protestant, including white Evangelicals, and those not affiliated with a religious group, on a number of contentious topics. This series of three brief analysis pieces, examined American religious and non-religious groups’ support for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and where respondents place blame for the ongoing violence, support for candidates who support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, and the experience of religious discrimination in the past year.
