2. I wonder whether current polls showing a shift to Trump among younger voters is because of Israel's war on Gaza.

Even many of us here do not support the continuation arms and aid for Israel, and I think a majority strongly support Israel’s right to exist. To younger people, Israel is just another country, but one that is now murdering thousands of innocent people with the help of US weapons, a supply that has been unending for six months. They blame Biden for continuing to support the madman Netanyahu. So given a choice on a poll between Trump, whom they may actually know little about, and Biden, they choose Trump. This single issue has the potential to sink Biden’s re-election, so I hope his advisers are not just sticking their heads in the sand.
