Not all popular opinion is created equally. Canada recently had the Conservative party vote out their leader O'Toole, & he had a poor reputation for unclear positions on policy: https://tnc.news/2021/09/21/erin-otooles-top-five-flip-flops-and-walk-backs https://tnc.news/2021/09/21/erin-otooles-top-five-flip-flops...
When someone shifts their positions to whatever happens to be popular it comes off more like someone who's motivated by gaining power rather than trying to improve the lives of their constituents
Not all popular opinion is created equally. People want leadership, & coming off like one's thoughts on policy is "what does polling say will make people like me?" isn't strong leadership
