I find this analysis very accurate. I'm a zoomer, my friend group mostly falls in the "FanDuel American" demographic, with a few libs and a few TPUSA types (I'm the only truly BASED person I know), they aren't super happy about the deportations. They mostly hated the the left because of tranny's and nagging lib types making the media insufferable.

Most people want the impossible.

Lower taxes, higher spending, reduced deficits.

Fewer immigrants without any deportations.

Public safety without messy encounters with the police.

Etc

Whoever they elect they can’t deliver this contradiction, so they blame them and elect someone else, who also can’t solve the contradiction.

The age 18-30 population in the US is 51% white, per the Census Bureau. It’s not surprising that 60% of the under-30 demographic is opposed to deportations.

FWIW you (and everyone) should be skeptical of polls that fluctuate as wildly as the one you cited in the article. Since we have not gotten in a nuclear war last I checked, an approval rate change of 30 points in a few months isn’t credible for any purpose that matters. I recognize it makes it harder to churn out a column on the topic, but intelligent readers are going to discount any thesis supported by evidence so flimsy.

I would stop spending so much time on polls, most of which are badly biased, and very often wrong. Vanderbilt's polling unit told us Brettison had a 90% chance of beating Marsha Blackburn for US senate several yrs ago, (for the usual reasons). And so on. Waxing eloquent about polling results does provide opportunities to write extensive 'analytical' essays, however.
