There are the only mentions of Gaza:

Voters think Biden is too liberal. The Biden administration has worried about shoring up its left flank, particularly since the war in Gaza. But the Times-Siena poll found that while Biden is losing only 2 percent of his “very liberal” voters from 2020 to Trump, he is losing 16 percent of his supporters who described themselves as moderate and conservative.

. . .

In the Times-Siena poll, 21 percent of voters say the economy will drive their vote, while 7 percent say inflation is their top issue. By contrast, immigration is the top issue for 12 percent of voters, abortion is the top issue for 11 percent, the war between Israelis and Palestinians is the top issue for 2 percent and crime is the top issue for fewer than 1 percent.

    I would wager that a significantly lower percentage of votes will come from first-time voters this year. That’s going to be more Palestine than “our lives aren’t getting better,” partially because young voters’ lives have never gotten better. The financial crisis began when they were 1-5 years old.

      It’s wild that I’ve seen a multiple once-in-a-lifetime financial crises in the US and now it’s all kinda blurring into one rolling economic crisis that just waxes and wanes depending on different factors.
