A global poll conducted by BBC showed that "more people support United Nations recognition of an independent Palestinian state than those who oppose it."
According to the poll, which surveyed 20,446 people across 19 nations, 49% were in favor of the Palestinian bid, while 21% said the proposal should be voted down. Some 30% abstained from taking sides.
The US and the Philippines showed the highest rates of opposition to UN recognition with 36% each.
In contrast, those surveyed in China showed enthusiasm for the Palestinian proposal, with 56% support and only 9% opposition.
Public opinion on the issue was quite similar among the three largest European Union member nations, with 54% support and 20% opposition in France, 53% support and 28% opposition in Germany and 53% support and 26% opposition in the UK.
