CNN —Joe Biden’s Democratic base has been divided over the Israel-Hamas war.
To some, including people within Biden’s own party, the public demonstrations against the war in Gaza remind them of the Vietnam War protests.
A mere 2% answered with some version of the Israel-Hamas war (e.g., the Middle East conflict).
An unpopular warThis is dramatically different from what we saw in 1968, when the Vietnam War forced President Lyndon Johnson to abandon his reelection bid.
Only a small fraction of that polling decline can be attributed to Biden’s war response.
