The poll, led by Rasmussen and released on Wednesday, reveals that 61% of voters disagree with Omar's recent “anti-American rhetoric" that has sparked criticism on social media and on Capitol Hill.
Just 24% agreed with the comparison, and 15% did not indicate one way or the other.
“We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban,” wrote Omar in a tweet, sparking backlash. “I asked [Secretary of State Antony Blinken] where people are supposed to go for justice.”

“We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity,” she added in a tweet earlier this month.
The political association was a significant factor in the average as 80% of Republican voters, 41% of Democratic voters, and 57% of independent voters disagreed with the comparison.

Omar is not likely to be attacked by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has already said she would not be punishing Omar as she had a “right to” criticize America.
"I think that she clarified her remarks, and we accept that, and she has a point that she wanted to make, and she has a right to make that point," the House speaker told a group of reporters on Friday. The decision came after 12 Jewish House Democrats condemned Omar in a letter and multiple Republican House members called for Omar to be penalized.

After Pelosi mostly wiped Omar’s statement, more than 200 rabbis sent her a letter that slammed her for not condemning the Democratic congresswoman more strongly.
"We reiterate that the mob attacks on American Jews today are directly attributable to the rhetoric of Rep. Omar and those who stand with her within and beyond Congress," the rabbis wrote.
The alliance said Pelosi’s answer to the contentious comments was “far too mild” and argued that a more acceptable response would be for Omar to be removed from her position on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
