Americans used to be not very receptive to Palestine, even amongst the left. It was only recently that pro-Palestine became a mainstream position amongst the left. Usually it was "all lives matter" or "if you are not jewish and you critique israel, you are weird/crypto-fash/problematic" type of rhetoric if you would have polled the american left. Thankfully in comparison to most core imperial countries that has now changed.
I think this applies more to White people in the US generally, including so-called Leftists. Especially since they are the ones in these groups for the most part.
I've known many Leftists for over a decade that were pro-Palestine, but most weren't White so they had a decolonial analysis out of necessity. I would be interested in seeing the position on Palestine among non-White people in the US generally over the last 15 years. I'd say among Leftists it was always pretty high but maybe just gained more ground lately among the general public. White people generally lagging behind and just catching up.
