On Thursday, YouGov released the results of polling asking Americans how they feel about the protests. Many people (about a quarter) said they weren’t sure. Of those who had an opinion, a plurality — just under half — said they viewed the protests negatively.
Older and Republican Americans were more likely to express opposition, but even among younger respondents and Democrats, less than half said they were supportive.
On net, it was only those latter two groups — Democrats and those under 45 — who were more likely to express support for the protests than opposition. Even then, the margin was only slightly positive. Respondents under 30, for example, were 13 points more likely to indicate support than opposition. Republicans, by contrast, were 53 points more likely to indicate opposition.

Protesters at the University of Ottawa in Canada are being ridiculed online after graffiti on campus misspelling Palestine was featured in the new anti-Israel song by rapper Macklemore.
The steps of the school’s Tabaret Hall were spray painted with the misspelled message, “Free Palastine,” with the image shown off in the “Thrift Shop” rapper’s “Hind’s Hall” music video that has garnered more than 13.6 million views on social media.
“Dear Pro-Palestine Students, If you are going to support Palestine — at least learn how to spell it,” British influencer Oli London wrote on X.
London was joined by hundreds who poked fun at the error, with many calling on the student protesters to be sent “back to high school for spelling.”
