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.
majority of americans support whatever they are told to support by the president and mass media
Country built on genocide supports genocide
I wonder if the news portraying palestinians as a turbo-raping, baby-beheading, anti-semetic zombie horde has anything to do with public opinion?
News be like: Surely they won’t buy the ‘enemy of the week #143 are also rapists’ bit again are they?
Americans: YOU BETTER KEEP THAT SLOP COMING!
this is propaganda doing its work. not that many people are as terminally newsbrainpoisoned as the hexbear crowd and I suspect the sheer brutality of the accelerated gaza genocide by israel is still percolating through the electorate. This level of “support” (not that it means anything when it’s just the electorate instead of elected officials) will fade the longer this goes on
60% of those people don’t even know what Palestine is
where that train derailed, right?
if they can remember that far back in time
That’s the Palestine west of the bank right?
west bank is when your largest ally is america
Lmao oh yeah
70% of 320,000,000 is 224,000,000
how tf are we going to build a gulag big enough for a quarter billion people
a lot of people dont really have strongly held beliefs, they just go with the status quo
Something tells me if a revolution ever comes that 70% will still need a lot of re-education
Maybe we build a big wall
It’d be expensive though maybe Mexico can chip in
That bell curve meme where the lowest end is “we need to build a wall” and the middle is “building a wall is expensive and would solve nothing” and the high end is “we need to build a wall”
While arguing with a co-worker about how what Israel is doing to oppress the Palestinians and how they have been pushed to this point, he asked me if I thought the Holocaust actually happened. It is beyond their comprehension that anyone would have any other opinion and it’s easier to just assume I’m some weird conspiracy theorist.
Americans don’t believe in anything, half of them can barely read, if you asked them whether Israel was justified in butchering 800 children the poll would most likely flip with 70% saying no, if you asked whether Israel has a “right to self-defense” without any qualification, probably 90% would say yes
If you asked them if Israel has the right to genocide the Palestinians, 50% would say “not sure” and 50% would say no, but 40% would vote yes if it was a closed ballot referendum item
Americans are incoherent lotus eaters who think the height of political intellectualism is enlightened centrism with “remote drone bombing” characteristics
If you asked them whether “Israel” has a right to bomb the Palatinate to defend themselves against hummus they would answer yes.
what percentage of Americans could tell you what the Nakba was? 5%?
Could 5% of Americans find Palestine on a map?
That is a very open ended question so it shouldn’t be that surprising that the results are like this. What part of the response are we talking about? Are we talking about whether it is justified for Israel to respond at all? Are we talking about whether the severity of their response is warranted? Who the fuck knows! Probably a lot more of the people who interpret it as the first would agree with the poll.
The propaganda is how this will be presented as 70% of Americans being pro-Israel, which this poll does not demonstrate.
Thinking Israel is justified to respond at all is pro-Israel given the history of the nation
Somehow the dozens of UN doctors and international journalists that Israel had killed manage to disappear into the void of history.
I hate these public opinion polls that: 1. Demonstrate how effective the prior waves of propaganda was were for informing the general public’s opinion, and 2. Are themselves wielded by propagandists who show them off like “This is the popular/common opinion, so it must be [good], [correct],[normal], [popular], etc.”
i mean the Israeli military response is “kill and destroy everything”.
Poll: 70% of bed bugs are currently thirsty for blood
This is what I’m talking about. Finally, someone understands on this website.
That’s actually smaller than I would have thought given the propaganda environment
Do we believe this? How is CNN trustworthy with polls?
Also, it comes however many days after however much atrocity propaganda. If you’d have asked last week, ‘Would Israel be justified in cutting off the water, electricity, medicine, and food of 1 million children because Hamas killed 1500 Israelis?’ The answer would be very different. The people responding aren’t thinking clearly, in part because the question is worded like it is.
every american is a legitemate target , good to know…
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.
It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.0 percentage points.
according to whom tho
Nice to see the younger ones polled favor Palestine’s struggle more
the actual numbers from the poll:
Zoomers still at 57% lol
this kills the revolutionary optimism
