Who collected this data and what was their methodology? Because I have a very hard time believing there's any demographic where Republican, Democrat, and Not Voting makes up less than 50%—let alone less than 15%—of the total.
This political action group sent out a survey to everyone who subscribes to their newsletter and the folks who are engaged with this anti-establishment political organization are gasp against the establishment candidates.
Calling this a survey is an insult to statisticians; at best this is a straw poll and doesn't provide any meaningful information about how these sentiments might be shared more broadly. Yes - Arabs mad, Biden bad, we know this with or without the survey, but it doesn't survey a representative (randomized) sample of Arab-American voters, so it's impossible to extrapolate the results at a state or national level.
You are right. Biden had 59% support among Arab Americans at least in 2020-2021. But the genocide is very unpopular and people have family and friends there. For example former Congressman Justin Amash had several of his relatives killed after an Israeli airstrike hit a Greek Orthodox church in the Gaza Strip.
The data here has been collected by the ADC https://adc.org/community-pulse/ you can learn about this https://adc.org/about/
Here's another source that similarly illustrate this unprecedented huge drop in a short time:
The Arab American Institute also have their polling methodology and Biden drops to 17%, higher than 7% but this is older data from November 2023 when people still had hope Biden would do the right thing:
