My favorite is "THIS ISN'T REAL DEMOCRACY", as though most Americans are in favor of defunding Israel.
It would be great if they were. But by and large they are not.
It doesn't look like that poll is saying what you think it's saying. But it's quite clear the text around it was written to make you think it says what you think it says.
Most Americans believe Biden is either doing the right thing, or not doing enough in favor of Israel, including Democrats.
You wanna explain to me how that translates to "Most Americans are in favor of defunding Israel!"
The one pair of questions that say what you are insisting they say are the one about Netanyahu. And those have about 30% of people supporting him. (That's still a lot of people, granted.)
The other ones absolutely do no translate to support or not of the current genocide.
Americans Divided Over U.S. Support for Israel and the Palestinians Do you think the United States supports [Israel/the Palestinians] too much, about the right amount or too little?
% Too much% Right amount% Too little% No opinion U.S. support for Israel U.S. adults 36 38 24 Republicans 26 37 37 Independents 40 36 22 Democrats 40 43 15
Where is Netanyahu mentioned here?
