Vice President Kamala Harris' refusal to break with the Biden administration's support for Israel's assault on Gaza cost her millions of potential Democratic voters. Will the Democratic Party learn from this and listen to its voters who want leaders to oppose sending more weapons to Israel? #Gaza #ElectionImpact
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:
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.
What the fuck does this have to do with anything? Is this just a desperate grasp for some result to boost centrism in general?

For the “Biden to Harris” voters. Of course it’s low importance to them (3%). That’s a key difference between those who stayed and those who didn’t. Which validates the whole point that it wouldn’t lose many votes. Few Harris voters cared about it, but the companion poll shows that those who didn’t vote for her did care.

There’s literally that exact question. Which is the one being referenced in the articles with specific percentages where Gaza was at the top.
“Which one of the following issues was MOST important in deciding your [vote for presidential candidate/decision to not to vote for president]?”

Also, the poll is exclusive to swing states.

Ok? So? The other states literally don’t matter.
