It's hard to say how much that was a factor. We know that the campaign's staff were instructed to record voter concerns about Gaza as "no response," but independent polling organizations found that most voters ranked the issue well below the usual, immigration and the economy. IIRC, only in Michigan was the number of protest voters high enough to perhaps swing the election.
