The majority of people who responded also said they feel a lot or some sympathy for the Palestinian people, but the depth of sympathy was less than it was for the Israelis. A total of 41% said they felt a lot of sympathy, with an additional 46% saying they feel some sympathy for Palestinians. The CNN poll surveyed 1,003 adults via text message, and only surveyed adults with mobile phones. Israel is widely expected to launch a ground offensive imminently, and has advised Palestinian civilians to move south ahead of the incursion. Hamas, however, has urged Palestinians to stay in their homes, and Palestinians hoping to flea have largely been unable to.
