New Poll: Likely Voters Are Tired Of Anti-Trans Ads

2 years ago by dandelion to c/trans

A new poll run by Data For Progress found that voters are more likely to support candidates who support trans rights. People also believe political attack ads have gotten out of hand.

Link to poll: https://www.dataforprogress.org/...

When voters are asked whether they are more inclined to support a candidate who backs transgender rights or one who opposes them, voters overwhelmingly choose the candidate in favor of transgender rights, by a margin of 21 points. This trend holds true among Independents, with a 19-point preference. Even 22% of Republicans indicate they are more likely to support a candidate who favors trans rights—a significantly higher percentage than the share of Democrats who would back a candidate opposing them.

Furthermore, voters showed frustration with the wave of anti-trans advertisements. When asked if they thought political attack ads against the transgender community have gotten mean spirited and out of hand, far more voters agree than disagree (+28 points). This finding holds true for independents (+23 points) as well, with even 31% of Republicans finding that there were too many political attack ads.

"Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you"

another ad that ends with this that runs relentlessly in my state (the joys of purple states), is about how under Kamala as DA, trans inmates were given trans healthcare.

All the ads are so vile, and its all hate against various minorities.

Edit: Side thought since i never post, companies who choose to take their hate money and run their propaganda should be held accountable for stochastic terrorism, but of course so should public figures.

Stirring up hate and getting people hate crimed and shit, there should be heavy penalties.
