    Went through the data on the website and wanted to post some more of the poll results here.

    Who do you think should take the lead in responding to protests in Los Angeles? 56% State / Local || 25% Fed || 19% Not sure

    Do you approve or disapprove of the Trump administration’s handling of deportations? 39% approve || 50% dissaprove || 11% Unsure

    Do you believe the protestors are…? 38% Mostly peaceful || 36% Mostly Violent || 26% Unsure

    Do you approve of deploying the national guard? 38% approve || 45% Disapprove || 17% Unsure

    Also worth noting the phrasing of the question is very weird:

    Do you approve or disapprove of recent protests in Los Angeles against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions?

    I can easily see respondents saying they disapprove of the protests meaning they disapprove of the situation as a whole due to police response.
