Excerpt from The Zogby Report | 10.11.24 - Is Gaza Really An Issue
We’re essentially 25 days out from Election Day and a lot of people have voted already. The war in the Middle East began a year ago and today we’re looking at how big an issue is Gaza for voters? While it does appear in the top 10 issues in most polling, it doesn’t appear in the top 3 issues. However when we poll Arab Americans, progressives and young women, the war in Gaza IS one of the top issues. This is particularly true in Michigan.
Since Harris jumped into the race, she has basically opted to support Biden’s policies in support of Israel, while advocating for a ceasefire. In our most recent poll, we discovered that if Harris were to demand a cease fire and use the withholding of American made weapons as leverage, that she would gain support with those groups.
How does messaging figure into how Trump and Harris are trying to articulate their positions as it release to Arab Americans particularly in Michigan and Pennsylvania? How do fluctuations int he polls reflect fluctuations in the language?
As always we welcome your thoughts, and thank you for tuning in. See you next time.
