Having the majority of the population supporting something doesn't really mean too much in the US. I mean marijuana legalization was supported by near 70% of the population even 2 decades ago. Many states now have legalized recreational marijuana, and yet it is still federally illegal and the federal government could at any time shut down all the state approved marijuana sales. I think that by itself makes it pretty clear that the US is barely democratic and the will of the people is easily and regularly ignored by politicians.
