Yeah, but no one’s having any massive demonstrations demanding a better economy, disrupting college graduations, shutting down the highway, it’s not like this huge national conversation like hey wtf is going on we demand that you do this differently
(Which, I mean, it should be, but that’s a separate issue)
I just think that it’s interesting that the economic polls serve a narrative, so the polls get reported. The actual economic numbers don’t really serve that narrative, and so up until pretty recently it was only the really highbrow sites that would even mention, how weird is this disconnect between how people see it and how it is. I think the Israel polls would also not serve the narrative (reporting that yes, a pretty large majority of the country is disgusted with Israel’s “war” and our support for it), and so it’s just this big void.
(It would also interfere with the “crazy protestors having their wacky ideas” narrative if they reported that most people agree with them)
There’s a reason for the saying “it’s the economy stupid”.

Silent majority (economy) vs squeaky wheel (Israel).
