Pledging arms embargo on Israel would help Harris gain more voter support: Poll

Roughly one-third of Democratic Party voters in the US states of Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania have said they are more likely to vote for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election if she were to agree to stop sending arms to Israel, according to a new poll.

The survey conducted by YouGov and the Institute for Middle East Understanding polled voters on whether they would be "more likely" or "less likely" to vote for Harris if one of the two scenarios took place: if a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was achieved before the November election or Kamala Harris agreed to an arms embargo on Israel.

In Pennsylvania, 34 percent of voters were more likely to vote for Harris if she agreed to the arms embargo, while 44 percent were more likely to vote for her if Biden achieved a ceasefire.

In Georgia, an arms embargo would make 39 percent of voters more likely to vote for Harris, and a ceasefire would similarly make 44 percent of voters more likely to choose the vice president.

Arizona showed similar numbers, with 35 percent of voters more inclined to choose Harris if she agreed to an arms embargo on Israel, while  41 percent of voters would do so if Biden achieved a ceasefire in Gaza.
