Wow, I didn't quite expect this kind of change from Republicans.

Broadly, the poll shows support for Israel and the Biden administration’s handling of the situation ebbing slightly further across the board. The poll shows 31% of U.S. adults approve of Biden’s handling of the conflict, including just 46% of Democrats. That’s as an earlier spike in support for Israel following the Hamas attacks Oct. 7 sags.

46% of Dems is pretty much 50% of the country...

I doubt many Republicans think Israel has gone to far.

Recheck your math. If we assume Dems are 50% of the country (they aren't, but lets just assume it) then 46% of 50% should be 23%

158,397,726 general election popular votes were cast in 2020.

81,282,916 went Democrat. 74,223,369 went Republican. 2,891,441 went other.

The population of the US that was over the age of 18 in 2020 was 258.3 million.

That means in 2020, 31% of America was Democrat, 29% of America was Republican, 1% percent of America was other, and 39% of America was disenfranchised from the system.

The majority of Americans, in a democratic election, have rejected the sham that is the modern Federal government.
