Why would a presidents legislative proposal receive public support from the nation and still encounter opposition in congress?

Receiving support and being free of opposition are not at all the same thing. The president's party will usually show at least token support for even bad ideas. Then they start getting phone calls and letters and e-mail and they back off.
The minority party may object to even good ideas because they want to regain power and they believe it is in their interest to attack every idea from their opponents and make them look as foolish as they can. Then if they get into power they can resurrect anything good and claim as their own. If this happens the opposing party will do the same and ridicule the proposals that they introduced earlier. That is how our government works.
