WASHINGTON, D.C. – After narrowly backing Israel’s military action in Gaza in November, Americans now oppose the campaign by a solid margin. Fifty-five percent currently disapprove of Israel’s actions, while 36% approve.

    The majority? Nobody asked me or anyone I know. Weird.

      Not understanding statistics doesn’t invalidate them.

        But my test base is the best test base, which is me and mine, which is totally not selective or biased at all.

        Grandma was on the fence, but after weeks of subverting her and making her fearful, she’s come around to the fact that we should do what I say and what I believe, because that is true consensus.

        Not understanding poling invalidates them

      It’s neat watching people forget the difference between a poll and a census the instant a poll says something they don’t like.

        It’s neat observing the lack of comprehension on Lemmy in real time.

          So you aren’t calling this poll’s findings into question because the majority of the respondents disagree with you?

            No. It was a jibe at how ridiculous poling has become. Look at those derpy upvotes. I weep for humanity.

              This poll has restored some of my faith in humanity. I’m glad that a majority of Americans oppose Netanyahu’s genocide.

      Riiight. Any survey that doesn’t ask you specifically your opinion must be made up, right?

          … And opinions you don’t agree with are wrong a priori. Gotit. Probably just best to not engage with other people if you already have all the answers

      Check out the number of upvotes Linkerbaan and Juicy get compared to top weekly posts. Their pet issue doesn’t do so well.

      Technically they should say something more like ‘poll of # estimates that majority in U.S…’
