I mean all data points taken as a whole bar the polls. I listed some of them earlier, ever talk show, opinion column, podcast, influencers (bar Joe Rogan), people calling in to radio shows. Anywhere you can find people giving an opinion, not just paid professionals but random people calling or writing in, it's in support. Literally 'the word on the street'. I don't think that's worth nothing, and I think that can be more representative than polls, as 2016 showed.

Furthermore, there's a lot of people who I think voted R who are now embarrassed and trying to defend the party and paint the people who support what is going on as a minority view, when it isn't.

Thanks for elaborating. So you think Joe Rogan's critic on ICE was inflated by media? I heard he spoke some critic regarding the latest actions. But he is still a strong supporter of the current administration, I guess?
Honestly I don't respect him so don't follow him too much, I just saw he disapproved of how ICE had been acting. Whether or not that tempered his support for the administration in general I cannot say.
