    From the other article covering the poll, Biden-Harris respondents were also asked how a change in policy would have affected their enthusiasm. 5% said it would make them less enthusiastic, 35% said more.

      lol so this is cherry-picked data. They link to a source that shows if Kamala had been more conservative in these areas, she would’ve had more support:

      Immigration Fossil fuels Ukraine (withdrawing support)

      It also said that 14% said her support of Israel made them more likely to vote for her. 9% said it made them less likely.

      Maybe MOST importantly is that the issues the polled on, in order of importance to voters, shows Gaza ranks LAST in importance. Shame on Common Dreams, I expected better.

      It’s so easy to lie with data, thanks for illustrating that

      Edit: okay, this is hilarious. Even the source they linked is wrong: “New Poll Shows Gaza Was #1 Issue For Biden 2020 Voters Who Did Not Vote For Harris

      Then the actual data disproves this. Neither for Biden voters who switched or Biden voters who backed Harris, it was not the top. For those who switched, it was NEAR the top. For others, it was dead last.

      Also, the poll is exclusive to swing states.

      Skimmed the article and I’m still confused. Why can’t people just link to the actual data?
