Only thing I can think of is that a bunch see her as a negative for the GOP and wanted her to stay

I can't imagine a lot of Democrats said they disagree with firing Kristi Noem. I'm hoping that 64% is low because another 25%+ said "not sure" because they don't really follow closely enough to know who Noem is.

It seems incredible that could be possible, but I've been surprised too many times how many people don't pay attention and don't know who anyone is apart from the biggest names. I bet 50% of people on the street if you asked them to name the VPOTUS would say they don't know, or get it wrong. I'd bet that no more than 15% of randomly chosen Americans could come up with all 5 of these people: "Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Pete Hegseth, Mike Johnson, John Thune" if you asked the question of who has those 5 roles.
