(CNN) The divide among House Democrats over Rep. Ilhan Omar's comments critical of pro-Israel politicians and lobbying groups reflect a larger breakdown between liberal Democrats and the rest of the country, according to a new poll.
But, it's unclear how much that debate matters outside the Capitol's halls: Past polling shows the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is barely registering as a top foreign policy concern for most Americans.
Within the Democratic party, a massive internal fight is occurring, one that appears to be largely broken down on ideological divides. Nearly as many liberal Democrats sympathize with Palestinians (38%) in the Middle Eastern conflict as sympathize with Israelis (41%), according to a Gallup poll out this week. That's in contrast with conservative/moderate Democrats, who sympathized with Israelis more than with the Palestinians by 28%.

When CNN says the Dems have an internal problem, you've got a big problem.
