Where's the data that supports the claim that "most" Asians support Affirmative Action for college admissions?
Boot straps. 
70% of Asian Americans support affirmative action. Here's why misconceptions persist.
With the Harvard affirmative action case a step closer to the Supreme Court, Asian American activists say much of their work involves dispelling myths about affirmative action's impacts.

You lied about the facts and called me ignorant, then called me a liar after I corrected you, and when I factually proved that you had no idea what you were talking about, you try to insult me?
The obvious solution is to vote for presidents and senators who will pick better justices. Reagan, Bush I, Bush II, and Trump are the entire reason that any of those lawsuits were won. Do you have a problem with that strategy?

They support it but it's not 70% anymore
Asian Americans Hold Mixed Views Around Affirmative Action
About half of Asian adults who have heard of affirmative action say it is a good thing. But about three-quarters of all Asian adults say race or ethnicity should not factor into college admissions decisions.

How can it be "both sides" when the White House was officially defending AA in court and all the Democrat-appointed justices voted to keep it in place?
That particular poll you're quoting claimed that 52% of Black Americans supported ending Affirmative Action. So if you believe the poll, then Democrats were literally defending AA harder than Black Americans were. But "both sides", right?
A different, earlier poll showed that only 25% of Black Americans supported the Supreme Court decision to end Affirmative Action. That same poll said 26% of Democrats supported ending Affirmative Action, compared to 75% of Republicans and 58% of independents. So the Democrats and Black voters were literally in lock step on the issue.
Most Americans approve of Supreme Court decision restricting use of race in college admissions: POLL
A little more than half of Americans – 52% -- approve of the U.S. Supreme Court decision on affirmative action.

I was just going the gallop poll in the OP which said 68% of Americans supported ending AA.How can it be "both sides" when the White House was officially defending AA in court and all the Democrat-appointed justices voted to keep it in place?

I know - and that Gallup poll claims that the majority of Black Americans support ending AA too. If you believe that poll is a legitimate reflection of who was working to end AA, then you have to blame Black people just as much as you're trying to blame Democrats.
I was pointing out that other polls taken before the actual decision was made showed very different results. And the actual Democrats in power, the people that "both sides" tellsus not to vote for, were strictly opposed to ending it.
