However they do have the power to end a boycott, either directly or indirectly (see the laws passed by various states regarding refusing to do business with Israel).

The ones that criminalize participating in a boycott? A fourth grader can identity those as flatly unconstitutional.

I do wonder how Pew got such drastically different results from every other poll.

Just in a quick glance at the source it seems like simply poor or misleading phrasing on wikipedia. Looks like the poll wasn't "support/oppose" with 95% oppose but it was more like "do you support" with 5% yes.
