Half of voters in the United States believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, a poll has found.

The share of US voters who believe a genocide is taking place includes 77 percent of Democrats and 51 percent of independents, according to the Quinnipiac University poll released on Wednesday.

A large majority of Republicans – 64 percent to 20 percent – do not think Israel is committing genocide, according to the poll.
