The president "can win over votes with a serious change" in his Gaza policy, said a leader at AJP-Action, which commissioned the survey.

That would actually be what you call a "Win\StopFkingGenocide" situation.

Sorry but anyone that's okay with letting Trump win because they're angry about Biden's 'business as usual' relations with Israel is going to find some other reason not to vote for Biden no matter what he does about Gaza.

Exactly this. It’s no secret why you only see these people calling out Biden and no one else when there’s been factually proven support for Israel from Trump, and a clear indication that he intends to do FAR worse if he’s elected.

There are tons of bad actors here and they’re not as clever as they think.

Which he has no real interest in doing, because he ideologically aligns with Netanyahu and believes that Israel should have complete dominance over the region. The administration has also brushed off college-age voters, who are primarily driving the protests and pro-Palestine movement in the states, as unimportant write-offs.

Yeah, Biden could win a lot of votes by doing the thing protestors keep asking him to do at any of his public appearances, no shit.

Care to back any of that up?

His financial incentives backs it up. https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/summary?cycle=All&ind=Q05&recipdetail=S

Biden has received at least $4,261,010 from Israeli lobbying.

That doesn’t back up a word they said. Try again.

He's financially incentivized to align himself with the political agendas of Israel. This is reflected by his politics and support of Israel with money and weapons, regardless of its genocide in Palestine. He's stealing taxmoney and giving it to Israel so that they can genocide Palestinians.

That's enough to denounce him.
