U.S. President Joe Biden's way of handling the Israel-Hamas war disgusts many young American voters, as claimed by a new poll conducted by the New York Times/Siena College.
The survey's results, which were released on Tuesday, Dec. 19, showed that young Americans disapproved of how the American leader handles the ongoing war in the Middle East.
This is a major concern since younger U.S. voters were considered a key coalition that helped Joe Biden win the 2020 Presidential Election. Here are other things that the new voting poll revealed.
Joe Biden's Israel-Hamas War Handling Disapproved by Young American Voters
Based on the results of the New York Times/Siena College's poll, around 72% of young American voters said that they disapprove of how Joe Biden handles the Israel-Hamas war.
Young registered voters who participated in the survey were 18 to 29 years old. Most of them even said that they were prepared to vote for Donald Trump because they were disgusted by Biden's Israel-Hamas war approach.
What's worse about the poll's results is that Donald Trump would have a 6-point lead over Joe Biden among registered voters in the mentioned demographic if the presidential election was held this December.
This result is quite far from a similar poll in July, which found that Biden would have a 10-point lead against Trump among 18-19-year-old American voters.
In the 2020 exit poll, Joe Biden also won the group by 21 percentage points. Experts clarified that exit polls are still imperfect, as reported by Business Insider.
But they warned that the fact that U.S. President Joe Biden is losing major support among younger American voters could definitely have a serious impact on his re-election bid in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election.

Israel Also Losing Global Support
According to BBC News, Israel is losing its global support over indiscriminate bombing in the Gaza Strip. Since Biden still sides with the Israeli government, he will likely lose support among Americans and other people across the globe.
On Tuesday, Dec. 19, POTUS warned Israel's leaders that they could lose global support if they can't ensure the safety of civilians in Gaza.
"Israel's security can rest on the United States, but right now it has more than the United States. It has the European Union, it has Europe, it has most of the world," explained the American leader.
"But they're starting to lose that support by indiscriminate bombing that takes place," he added.
