“Freedom
loving Trump saving freedom of speech from the dictators that ban apps” would be such a boon for Trump. It’s amazing that the current administration set up such a scene.

Rasmussen consistently gets ranked as one of the least reliable major pollsters, and has a heavy conservative bias. I would take that with a whole salt crystal.
People who want something they don't use or directly effected from be banned are not the same as the people who use the thing and getting directly affected.
People who loose stuff will feel much much strongly that those who on political or intellectual level support the ban. The later will move on, the former will remember.

iykyk. Also this article from two days ago is hilarious, "congressional leaders who championed the law are now shying away from calling for the ban to begin Sunday" with Schumer, Jeffries and the White House all trying to pass the buck to someone else and try to avoid a ban:
