Iraq dominated the headlines throughout the fall of 2002 and into the winter of 2003. Public opinion on the wisdom of war, however, stabilized relatively early and slightly in favor of war. Gallup found that from August 2002 through early March 2003 the share of Americans favoring war hovered in a relatively narrow range between a low of 52 percent and a high of 59 percent. By contrast, the share of the public opposed to war fluctuated between 35 percent and 43 percent.
Looks like Americans are even more happy with murdering people if its done by a puppet.
Remember who they are polling, who answers their landlines, who picks up a phone from ‘unknown’
It’s boomers, folks
The CNN poll surveyed 1,003 adults via text message, and only surveyed adults with mobile phones. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.0 percentage points.
Ok cool. 1000 people who will answer a text message from unknown. Would you? Again, I know literally zero people who support Israel in this conflict. Got friends up and down the age spectrum, in and outside of the states.
So my poll says 100% of everyone I know wants this shit to end. Facebook, Twitter, insta, all on the same page here.
Somehow American polls always seem to be, ahem, skewed.
Look at those 538 predictions based on ‘polling data’ on the last several elections.
It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.0 percentage points.
according to whom tho
So the 70% is combining “fully justified” and “partially justified,” with the only other options being “not at all justified” or “not sure.” There’s no option for like “mostly unjustified” so lots of people who both sides the issue - or even favor Palestine! - are likely to say “partially justified,” which is a very broad and vague statement.
Another headline you could write from this poll: “Only 27% of young people consider Israel’s response justified - compared to 81% of seniors,” or “50% of Americans think Israel’s response was justified.”
Polls are, as always, fake.
