Fox News poll has Sayed up one even though they based the partisan electorate on 2024 and not on 2018. They have GOP with a solid partisanship advantage of 3 pts. In 2018 Dems had solid partisan advantage of 8 pts. This Fox poll has Sayed up 8 among Independents. Means he will win by 4 or 5.

Netanyahu is so much like Trump. In one big way, he conflates himself and the country of Israel, just like Trump conflates himself and America. If you hate Netanyahu, then you hate Israel or Jews is his and his supporters premise. Just like Trump pushes if you hate him, then you hate America.
