(LifeSiteNews) – Two-thirds of American registered voters oppose forcing female athletes to compete against biological males, according to poll results released Friday by The Center Square.
The survey of 2,500 voters (1,000 registered Republicans, 1,000 registered Democrats, and 500 independents) conducted by Noble Predictive Insights found 67% of respondents against “transgender women” competing against actual women or girls in sex-specific athletic programs, including 75% of men and 60% of women.
As expected, Republicans were overwhelmingly opposed to opposite-sex inclusion at 89%, with Democrats divided at 45% opposed, 36% supportive and 19% unsure.
“The group driving that support are very left-leaning Democrats,” said Noble Predictive founder and CEO Mike Noble. “It is pushed by Democrats on the left. Biden’s administration has really embraced it.”
The poll suggests that most Americans are firmly aligned with conservatives on the issue, and that emphasizing it would be politically effective with all beyond left-wing ideologues.
“This is a huge opportunity for Republicans this election to use it as [a] wedge issue,” Noble added. “They don’t have a lot of wedge issues. This is a good issue for Republicans.”
