Which is why political polling is so dangerous a tool to use for public policy and campaigning. People have shallow opinions about things that are nationally important (climate change, Ukraine) and paradoxically strong opinions about peripheral things (chemtrails, Jeffrey Epstein).

And when people have shallow opinions, they can be easily persuaded something is good or bad via frequent repetition, which means media (traditional and digital) can change public opinion by saying "Biden old."
