Also, I was specifically told that young Americans believe Israel/Gaza is the single most vitally important moral issue of our time, so much so that it has to trump (pun intended) every other issue.

I, like most people here, am more worried about the multiple genocides Rs are committing in America today than what's happening in the Middle East.

The “situation in the Middle East” is extremely ambiguous. Iran, Gaza, Syria, Kurds, Yemen, Israel - which situation? Had they polled “Gaza genocide” the response might have been different. Every young person I know hates what Israel is doing to Gaza.

Also this poll measured intensity about the issue l, they may be upset about but just not care as much as any of the other issues. Also the 'kids you know' is not a statistically significant sample.

Sure, but "The Economy" is equally ambiguous yet somehow it ranks twice as high?

Eh, people think economy good or economy bad. “Situation in the Middle East” is far broader.

Exactly - and let’s add transgender people in sports as second on that list. Both are important and yet neither should have been used as they were or had the impact they did

Didn't someone once say "it's the economy, stupid?" It never changes, yet Dem political "experts" consistently fumble the ball I would really like us to learn offense and stop responding to their every little thing. We give their idiocy oxygen instead of driving the narrative

I wonder if it could be because it’s such a complex situation and more older adults have been exposed to the conflict for a longer amount of time.
