1. Looks like the tide is turning

Tough luck, Trump. Time to face the music.

2. Yes. Proving the maxim that documented truth is compelling for those who want truth & not stories.

3. 22% of Republicans following J6C is *HUGE* people, that's not a small number relative to voting

... if we can shave off just 1/3 of that into not vote for MAGA.

4. Looks that way. It's just that sample numbers need to be high level representative

to be valid and reliable. Which is hard to do in such a huge country with different political regions.
Even a 1% national sampling is at least 33,500. Few polls -- only Gallup, I believe -- have those size samples.
If we're confident on the IPSOS sampling of 545, then 22% of that is indeed huge.

Even if the sampling numbers go up, and poll percentages change, these snapshots consistently trend up, and so we can definitely feel better that minds are changing.
