Am clueless what polls you are referring to.

Been watching any C-Span lately?

No TV other than OTA networks. All stories in every paper I saw
indicated general public was highly opposed.

Just an observation that the pol's don't always do the expected and
other political factors come into play besides public opinion.

Certainly the current administration/congress leaders have intentions;
what they actually get incorporated is yet to be determined.

And, of course, there's the old saw of "careful what you wish for; you
just might get it".
