That’s not what the poll asked. Wording matters a lot in polls. The question was worded as approval of deporting undocumented people in general - not necessarily of how Trump is conducting it. Quite a number of people have bought into the false the right wing narratives that most undocumented people are [insert negative thing here]. Then when they see brutal operations that don’t reflect that narrative they start to oppose the operations - but not always realize the premise was false. When you poll on how Trump is conducting things, the approval falls a lot more
EDIT: which also isn’t to say that those myths can’t be busted, just that such a thing takes longer. Acknowledgement that the current operations are horrifying is the first step towards that
And yet there was also this poll just the other day that showed a majority of Americans approve of what ICE are doing under Trump:
