"An Economist/YouGov poll asked U.S. adults if they support or oppose "allowing transgender student athletes to play on sports teams that match their gender identity, rather than the sex they were assigned at birth?" Overall, only 22% of respondents said they support it, while 67% said they opposed letting trans kids play with others of their gender."
"Among people who voted for Harris, only 39% said they support trans student athletes, while 43% said they oppose them. The difference was more stark among people who voted for the current president; only 6% supported trans student athletes and 89% opposed. Men (72%) were somewhat more likely to oppose trans student athletes compared to women (62%), despite how the issue is often presented as a battle for women's rights."
An Economist/YouGov poll of 1,684 U.S. adults conducted January 23–26 asked whether transgender student athletes should play on teams matching their gender identity or the sex assigned at birth. Overall, 22% supported allowing trans student athletes to play with others of their gender while 67% opposed. Among 2024 Kamala Harris voters, 39% supported and 43% opposed; among voters for the current president, 6% supported and 89% opposed. Men opposed at higher rates (72%) than women (62%). Older respondents were less supportive; Black and white respondents opposed at 66% and 68% respectively, while Hispanic respondents opposed at 56%. The poll presented participation options as equally likely, which could affect responses because some students who have already started transitioning may avoid participation if forced to play based on their sex assigned at birth.
