A Harvard CAPS/Harris poll conducted last week found a majority of American voters side more with Israel than Hamas, but college-age students are narrowing the gap. 

The poll was conducted online Oct. 18 through 19 among 2,116 registered voters and held a margin of error of +/- 2%. 

When voters were asked who they sided with more in the Israel-Hamas conflict, 95% of voters ages 65 and older said Israel, while only 5% said Hamas. 

In the 18-24 age range, 52% said Israel while 48% said Hamas. 

The average percentage of support for Israel over Hamas from the 25-64 range was 82%. 

Former Clinton adviser and chairman of the Harris Poll Mark Penn said the "enormous" gap was indicative of a generational divide.

HERE'S WHERE STUDENTS FOR JUSTICE IN PALESTINE HELD COLLEGE PROTESTS THIS WEEK

"When I probed deeper, wow! Are these college-age kids misinformed? Forty-five percent believe, you know, that Israel bombed the hospital. Most believe Iran is not behind everything," he said Tuesday on "The Story." "They are in another world when it comes to information far removed from reality." 

Penn said college students "don’t even know what they’re saying" when they chant "from the river to the sea" because it means the annihilation of the Jewish state. 

"When they say, 'from the river to the sea,' they're talking about the annihilation of the Jewish state, you know, of 9 million people, something most of them don't even support when you ask them in the poll," he told anchor Martha MacCallum. "But they're out there chanting things that they don't understand. It’s an enormous disconnect because the information base, as you say, do they really understand the Holocaust? Do they understand what happened in World War II? Do they understand how Israel was formed and what the Jewish people are and how it is their homeland?"

"No, it doesn't appear that they have the basic facts compared to the older generation. The younger generation, remember, didn't even live through 9/11. They don't even have a basic understanding of terrorism and how it has affected us here let alone those in Israel," he continued.

ISRAEL RELEASES UNEDITED VIDEO OF OCT 7 HAMAS ATTACK TO COUNTER ‘HOLOCAUST DENIAL-LIKE PHENOMENON’

Fifty-two percent of college-age students said Israel was not justified in eliminating Hamas in Gaza after it launched a terrorist attack on Oct. 7 that killed an estimated 1,400 people, while 48% said Israel is justified. 

The poll also found a majority of voters believe the long-term solution to the Israeli-Palestinian dispute is a two-state solution.
