Poll: Large Majority of Americans Say They Won’t Vote for Candidate Who Supports Transgender Procedures for Youth

(Austin, TX—November 3, 2022) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted October 25th through October 30th of over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.

“As with so many other election 2022 issues, the far left has gone too far in pushing unrestricted Transgender procedures for any child at nearly any age without any restrictions. Voters–most of whom are parents–know that this policy goes wildly beyond common sense in a country where we restrict entertainment, alcohol use, medications, driving, voting, and even criminal sentencing for minors. Average Americans, regardless of party, have a sense that things are out of control and there are no adults in the room,” said Mark Meckler, President of the Convention of States. “When the autopsy is done on this coming midterm election, experts will find that unrestricted wokeness has had a major impact on voting decisions. Citizens expect responsible, common-sense policies on issues, and politicians so focused on pandering can’t see this and will pay the price.”
