These stats are about the policy preferences of the electorate, while OP is about the politicians. But your picture is a fantastic illustration as to why the democrats lost the election. It's because they keep moving further right (look for example at their recent pro-fracking, pro-border wall, pro-genocide presidential candidate).

"Pro border wall" the chart above would indicate that overall sentiment would be the opposite, less border wall more movement.

The chart shows democratic party voter opinion, not their politician's opinions. Kamala basically ran on Trump's 2016 border policy and earned zero votes because of it.

That is indeed what the chart indicates.
