A new survey found 47% of U.S. voters believe colleges should ban pro-Palestinian protests, compared to 30% who say the demonstrations should be permitted. A slightly smaller number 41% would ban pro-Israel protests.

The vast majority of voters 76% also said they support colleges asking police to protect campuses from violence.

The survey was conducted April 27-28, before the latest police crackdowns of recent days, including the New York Police Departments removal of activists who had occupied a building on the campus of Columbia University; the Los Angeles Police Departments breakup of a pro-Palestinian encampment at the University of California, Los Angeles, that had previously been attacked by pro-Israel demonstrators; and Thursdays arrest of 90 people at Dartmouth College.
