Poll: Letting Transgender Athletes Compete in Women’s Sports Is an Unpopular, Fringe Viewpoint

A new poll out Wednesday by Politico and Morning Consult shows President Joe Biden’s day one executive order effectively eliminating girls’ sports with the mandated inclusion of transgender athletes is deeply unpopular.

According to the survey of 1,990 registered voters conducted March 6-8, 53 percent of respondents support a ban on transgender athletes competing in women’s sports. Only a third of those surveyed were opposed. Such bans under Biden’s executive order forfeit institutions of any federal funding.

A deeper dive into the data further erodes the idea that the radical proposal to impose biological males into women’s sports is mainstream, and suggests it stems from corporate outlets becoming exhaustively woke.

Among the subgroups surveyed including men, women, Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Gen Z, Millennials, and Baby Boomers, only a majority of Democrats and Gen Z participants reported they were opposed to a ban on transgender athletes in women’s sports. And even those groups fell within the survey’s 2 percent margin of error.

Ok so let's dispense with the notion that transgenderism as pushed by corporate media, Big Tech, Hollywood, and corporate America is somehow "mainstream." It's not even close to mainstream. It's a fringe view. https://t.co/MARyRurOXw
