Poll shows public support sinking for transgender athletes to play based on gender identity
"A recent Gallup poll reveals that 69% of Americans favor segregating sports events based on the gender assigned at birth, reflecting a significant decline in support for transgender athletes."
"Support for restrictions on transgender athletes in sports is notably bipartisan, with 90% of Republicans agreeing, although only 41% of Democrats share this view."
Recent findings from a Gallup poll indicate that about 69% of Americans believe transgender athletes should compete only on teams corresponding to their birth gender. This view commands significant support across different political affiliations, with 90% of Republicans and 72% of independents in favor. However, only 41% of Democrats agree. This sentiment is mirrored in opinions about listing birth gender on official documentation, with 66% overall support. The growing opposition to transgender athletes reflects an ongoing societal trend noted since Gallup started tracking these views in 2021, revealing a decline in support for trans participation in sports aligned with their gender identity.
