    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.
