    Reminder: it is a year out before the general Presidential election. General public sentiment can change in less than a week (see GW Bush’s approval before and after 9/11). These polls are meaningless.

      not to mention… that Americans that are unhappy with biden/democrat response… are likely extremely unhappy with the republican response. It’s not like democrats exist in a vacuum. (which is part of the problem. Democrats only have to be less awful than republicans… which is like saying you only have to be less awful than hitler. low bar.)

    Smart. Blame the guy who pushed Israel into allowing humanitarian help and observing international law, don’t go vote and get the guy who wants to ban you from traveling for the color of your skin.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    WASHINGTON, Oct 31 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden’s support among Arab Americans, who are crucial voters in battleground election states, has plunged from a comfortable majority in 2020 to just 17%, a new poll shows, amid growing anger over the Democratic president’s support for Israel’s attacks on Gaza.

    These voters have traditionally voted for Democratic candidates and are prominent in hotly contested states like Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, that could decide the 2024 presidential election.

    Only 20% of Arab Americans would rate Biden’s job performance as “good,” the poll showed, with 66% reporting a negative view of the president overall.

    Majorities are concerned about rising antisemitism (67%) and anti-Arab bigotry (78%), and 59% report experiencing discrimination, a jump of 6% since the last poll in April.

    The poll showed that 45% of Arab Americans were concerned about their personal safety due to the recent violence in Israel and Palestine.

    Medical authorities in Gaza on Tuesday said 8,525 people, including 3,542 children, had been killed in Israel’s three-week-old air and ground onslaught.


    The original article contains 430 words, the summary contains 171 words. Saved 60%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    Everyone knows that polling is wrong if it doesn’t agree with your world view. For instance, this article say 66% of Arab Americans have a negative view of Joe Biden, but they failed to ask how there opinion would differ if he was wearing little boy shorts like Christopher Robin from the Winnie the Pooh books. They also mentioned nowhere what people thought of his dog that keeps biting secret service agents. With bias so clear I think we should clearly not speak about this matter at all until in 6 months its all we speak about.
