Which of your sources has this 29% figure? I read and double checked the rolling stone one albeit on archive.ie so maybe a graphic's not coming through?

Or you meant to send a different source?

    Lol, okay, now read the other parts there:

    29% - Ending Israel’s violence in Gaza 24% - The economy 12% - Medicare and Social Security 11% - Immigration and border security 10% - Healthcare 9% - Abortion policy 5% - Don’t know

    In other words, the overwhelming majority of the voters who changed their vote from Biden to someone else were not voting because of Gaza.

    An astute reader might note that this lines up pretty closely with what I said way back at the beginning...

    Harris lost running on massive inflation, in the same wave that saw almost every incumbent government thrown out by historic margins and still came within only a couple of points of trump.

    I'll also just leave this here for you.
