Apparently according to recent polls, over 70% of the US population wants a cease-fire in gaza. Considering less than a handful of congress-members agreed with them, that makes 99% of the US congress opposing the will of the people. Very democratic country, yes.

According to one recent poll, the number is 67%, and they didn't poll for a range of definitions of ceasefire to try to suss out exactly what that means. Like, many people would only accept a ceasefire that would more or less erase Hamas, but there is no sign of that happening. Instead, everything (including somewhat agree) was just lumped together to produce 67%.
