    If Biden cut all support to Israel he would win the popular vote easily. I don’t know what losing that AIPAC money does but is losing that really worse than pissing off your entire base?

      His overall polling hasn’t changed much since September, so I doubt Israel is moving the needle. If anything he’s polling slightly better than before the invasion of Gaza.

      The vast majority of registered voters support Israel Even among Democrats most (77%) will still vote for Biden even if they disagree with him. I had a hard time finding registered voters opinions vs Democrat voters, so I could be wrong. The exact wording seemed to make a big difference. The most disapproval was seen among young voters. This really isn’t a winning issue on either side.
