the 29% figure isn’t hidden in anyway—it’s right there on the webpage in plain text. you literally have to scroll past it to miss it:
“29% - Ending Israel’s violence in Gaza”
so either you didn’t read the link you’re trying to argue about, or you’re counting on everyone else not to read it either. which is it? because pretending a number doesn’t exist when it’s displayed directly on the sources you’ve asked for is either willful ignorance or straight-up misleading people
Which of your sources has this 29% figure? I read and double checked the rolling stone one albeit on archive.ie so maybe a graphic’s not coming through?
29% - Ending Israel’s violence in Gaza
24% - The economy
12% - Medicare and Social Security
11% - Immigration and border security
10% - Healthcare
9% - Abortion policy
5% - Don’t know
In other words, the overwhelming majority of the voters who changed their vote from Biden to someone else were not voting because of Gaza.
An astute reader might note that this lines up pretty closely with what I said way back at the beginning…
Harris lost running on massive inflation, in the same wave that saw almost every incumbent government thrown out by historic margins and still came within only a couple of points of trump.
