That's not really true. Youth campaign workers have been reporting Gaza as the biggest issue in getting people to commit to voting for Biden. This chart as well makes it clear that stopping offensive aid would be popular among the people available to vote for him, (still looking and not completely opposed to voting D)

I'm confused, did you not read the stats I linked in the comment above?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's because they polled for the PA, not for Palestinians or Gaza.

They do a straight comparison of sympathies between Gaza and Israel further down the article. Look for the graph with the title "Sympathies in the Middle East Situation, by Party ID and Age".

It's been an exhausting day for me on this thread and frankly, it's not worth it anymore. I've had a person threaten suicide multiple times, a person just randomly start belittling for no reason, and a large chunk of people who just refuse to read articles. Gonna tap out of this one, so you all take what you will from the articles and I'll just leave it there.

I'm sorry but that's not saying what you think it is. Democrats in that section go 43 for Palestinians and 35 for Israel with a similar youth breakdown. And that's still not Gaza. I didn't see a section for Gaza.
