A poll published Thursday found 72.7 percent of American voters say they are not likely to vote for candidates running in the midterm elections who support gender transition procedures for minors, such as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries.
The survey, sponsored by Convention of States Action and conducted by The Trafalgar Group, found 63.3 percent of 1,080 likely general election voters say they are not likely to vote for a candidate who supports gender transition medical procedures for minors, and 9.4 percent say they are somewhat less likely – a total of 72.7 percent who say they are not likely to vote for candidates with those views.
Among the respondents, 27.4 percent say they are likely to vote for a candidate in the midterms who supports allowing minors to undergo gender transition procedures.
The poll, which has a margin of error of 2.9 percent and a confidence level of 95 percent, also found that a large majority of Independents joined Republicans in opposing candidates who support children and teens having gender transition medical interventions.
Among the Independent voters surveyed, 79.2 percent say they are not likely to vote for a candidate in the 2022 midterms who supports allowing minors to use puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and undergo life-altering transgender surgeries, while 20.7 percent say they are more likely.
Of the Republican respondents, 96.5 percent say they are not likely to vote for a candidate who supports gender transition for minors, with 3.5 percent responding as more likely.
Among Democrats, 42.7 percent say they are not likely to vote for a candidate in the 2022 midterm election who supports allowing children and teens to use puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and undergo sex-change surgeries, but 57.3 percent say they are more likely.
“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,” said Mark Meckler, president of the Convention of States. “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.”

It would be a help if those candidates were named. Early voters take a dangerous chance when such information uncovers candidates who support such harmful policy choices.
Yes….and we are two of them.
I can’t figure out how a Christian nation encourages strong chemical drugs on children when the drugs physical damage to kids bodies and minds affects their bodies and minds for the rest of their lives. These chemical drugs are foreign to human bodies and meant only for serious help for consenting adults. Cutting up kids bodies before they even try to find out who the heck is telling five year olds they are in the wrong body and need these painful, body destroying surgeries tells me the money these surgeries are getting for doing these surgeries is what those doing the surgeries are really after. They are not in the business of helping children in any way because if they were they would be telling parents to wait till the kids are over 18 and the kids themselves want these surgeries not a sick in the head parent, not a sick in the head teacher and not a money getting surgeon. People forcing kids into this stuff are doing so for their own personal reason and no teacher or parent or doctor should be allowed to push kids into this money making surgery and chemical drugs. This serious abuse of children should be criminal. This hate towards children in a Christian nation should be stopped and not allowed.
In other words, the looney left vote whores, the crazed soros owned media and outfits like Disney, all of which make up 1% of the population, will lose.
