From the media coming from Niger and other countries it definitely seems to me that the people are fully supportive of the coup. The other nations that underwent coups also were deposing west-installed leaders.

Niger is a 25M inhabitants country. A couple of demonstrations supported by Russian don't reflect the global reality.

If the people fully supported the coup the military would have elections and cement their leadership.

How do you define "the people"? Do all Americans support Biden? Do all Russians support Putin? Of course not! Parts of the population in Niger definitely support the coup, I'm sure. But how many? No idea.
