This is a great example of a poll being designed (intentionally or not) to try and cast a pretty reasonable action as a minority opinion. It’s a bad question because it isn’t specific enough.

Change it to “Do you think it’s reasonable to cut off contact with family members bc they don’t view you as a full person, don’t think you should have equal rights as them, or think you are part of a global conspiracy that steals children and drinks their blood?” And see how people respond.

I think a lot of pollsters take bad faith “debates” they see online (probably just Twitter honestly) and apply polling data to declare that the bad faith debate is in good faith actually when real people never thought or cared about this question in the first place until being asked on this poll.
