why would they, %90 of democrats also think that Israel is just conducting military operations against terrorists and not mass slaughtering civilians or destroying civil areas as a part of their genocide and ethnic cleansing plan

According to Israeli polls, Dems support of israel is about 33%. Gallup polls say Democrat 21% compared to Republican 75%.

Total support of Israel in the USA is 46% and support of a two state solution is 55% with only 31% opposed and 14% no opinion. Independents and Republicans both have more favorable views of Israel than Democrats. As for support of an independent Palestinian state, despite being contradictory with the previous poll question, Democrats are in favor at 76% compared with 53% of independents and 41% of Republicans support a Palestinian state but 49% opposed.

Despite this, the Republican administration is supporting a Single State Solution in which Israel takes all, just as they did in the previous Trump administration.

Still only 72% and it increased to 19 in another vote later on totaling 62% support of Israel. Very recently the House passed a motion to block another billion dollar sale to Israel, and they also reduced or restricted trade several times under the Biden admin to the point that Netanyahu came to speak to them and beg for more weapons.

Biden himself is one of the most outspoken supporters of Israel, but he withheld large bombs purchased by Israel in fears that Netanyahu would use them on Rafah.

You're talking about politicians, they're talking about voter opinion. Why would you think those numbers would be correlated?
