What will it take for Americans to overcome the intimidation and say, \u2018enough is enough?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The national survey, conducted by Summit.org in partnership with McLaughlin and Associates, polled more than 1,000 likely 2022 election voters in October. The voter profile consisted of 36 percent Republican voters, 37 percent Democrats, and 27 percent independent or unaffiliated voters. The results discussed below include only those with an opinion on the questions asked, while those who indicated they were unsure or \u201cdon\u2019t know\u201d were excluded.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if they \u201cbelieve the transgender movement has gone too far by encouraging underage minors to use drugs and surgery to transition to the opposite sex,\u201d the poll found that 75 percent of respondents answered \u201cyes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The overwhelming majority of Republican voters\u201486 percent\u2014and more than half (61 percent) of independent voters think minors are encouraged by the \u201ctransgender movement\u201d to medically transition with drugs and surgeries, while Democrats were nearly split at 46 percent.<\/p>\n<p>When asked what their opinion was on \u201cwhy transgenderism is rising among underage minors,\u201d the poll found that 69 percent of respondents said that \u201cunderage minors are being influenced to question their gender due to social media and other cultural influences.\u201d By contrast, 31 percent answered that the rise in trans-identifying minors is because \u201cunderage minors feel free to question their gender without judgment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A full 80 percent of Republican voters, 57 percent of independents, and 41 percent of Democrats think social media and cultural influences encourage minors to question their gender.<\/p>\n<p>When asked what their opinion was on the \u201cmotivation behind the medical industry promoting gender transition for young children,\u201d the poll found that 70 percent of respondents believe that the medical industry is \u201cmotivated by financial gain,\u201d while 30 percent believe that medical institutions are \u201cmotivated to help struggling children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The partisan breakdown follows that 74 percent of Republicans, 56 percent of independents, and 39 percent of Democrats believe financial gain motivates the medical industry to promote gender transition to minors.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, respondents were asked if they were reluctant to share their views with friends, family, or coworkers. 41 percent of voters say they are reluctant. Of those who were reluctant to share their thoughts, 8 percent say they withhold their opinions because they \u201cdon\u2019t want to be canceled,\u201d 16 percent because they \u201cdon\u2019t want to offend,\u201d and 16 percent because they \u201cdon\u2019t know enough.\u201d By contrast, 59 percent of voters say they are not reluctant to share their views on transgender issues with friends, family, and coworkers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The findings of this survey speak to an overall shift in Americans\u2019 perceptions of minors who have adopted transgender identities towards skepticism and caution.
