I suspect a lot of it could be explained by white people who vote Democratic but feel uncomfortable "accommodating" or "making concessions to" black people and/or leftist activists.
I also think people who don't live in the south generally don't know much about their symbolism one way or the other. They're "just statues" to them, and people tend to be against taking down statues for reasons they don't understand.
