This is why I want candidates with a moral compass and a clear vision who work to CONVINCE voters that their policies are good

and not spineless turds who have to poll test every statement and base their opinions off of focus groups
More broadly: Most voters just don't have particularly stable or strongly held views on most policy questions. They'll tell a pollster something or other, which will often change if you vary the question wording slightly, which creates the illusion of hard quantifiable data about voter preferences.
there's also a conversation to be had about how "popular" and "unpopular" are largely communications problems.
