817-821-07 One Year On, Has Rishi Sunak Won Back Lost 2019 Tory Voters (Click for Details) (UK) With the Conservatives slumping to record low voting intention figures during Liz Truss’s short tenure, when Rishi Sunak became prime minister the only way was up.

This translated into an equal increase in the number of 2019 Tory voters saying they’d vote for another party (rising to about 27%) and ‘don’t know’ (again, about 27%). This drastic drop in support was enough to contribute to her resigning as leader after just six weeks in power. (YouGov UK) 23 October 2023 1.3 Domestic Politics » Governance (Top)

817-821-18 Poll Shows Biden Support Slumping Among Michigan Muslims (Click for Details) (USA) A new survey conducted by one of Joe Biden’s former pollsters shows the president’s support has cratered among Muslim and Arab Democrats in Michigan, a key demographic group that overwhelmingly backed Biden in the swing state in 2020. About two-thirds of Arab and Muslim Democrats said they now think they will vote to replace Biden, and three-quarters said they are willing to vote for a third-party candidate. The results appear driven by the U.S.-backed Israeli campaign in Gaza, with those voters almost unanimously giving Biden a “poor” rating for his handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the most negative response option available.

A further 31% sympathise with both sides equally, while the remaining 31% are unsure. A new survey looks into these attitudes in more depth, asking Britons to subsequently say how much sympathy they have for either side in the conflict. The four in ten Britons who express a tendency to support one side more than the other are split on whether they also hold some sympathy for the other side. Among those with a more pro-Israeli view, 49% say they sympathise at least somewhat with the Palestinians. Likewise, 54% of those with a more pro-Palestinian stance say they have at least some sympathy for the Israelis. However, 44-46% of those who sympathise with one side more than the other say they “don’t sympathise at all” with the other side.
