    Speaking in terms of the percent of the population doesn’t matter because we don’t use the popular vote to elect the president. We need to see how many of them are in swing states. There’s a good chance the war in Israel will turn Michigan red.

      Right, but if the jewish population in those states is higher, then siding with the Palestinians would turn some of these swing states red anyway. Possibly more of them.

        Exactly. Which is why I discount polls that measure national approval ratings and such. We don’t elect presidents that way, so they’re not valid.
