According to this poll, roughly only half of the USA thinks what ICE is doing is bad, is that accurate? (ground.news)

We read a lot of noisy for profit media so it's hard to tell from the outside of your box looking in. I don't consider CNN trustworthy but what about the polling company SSRS?

A lot of "undecided" (about what?) is also interesting. Or are they just scared to say one way or the other?

30% are magats who are all-in with the fascist coup and nothing will change how they see the world. Ever. 50% have some idea about what's going on. At least enough to realize it's not good. 20% are too busy watching...I don't know what's popular these days, Real Housewives of Cincinnati or scrolling on their phone...to even think. Seems very plausible to me.
