Poll: Over 70 Percent Strongly Object to Transgender Industry’s Targeting of  Kids and Teens

Voters Also Favor Increased Legal Liability for Medical Professionals and Drug Companies Providing Transgender Treatments to Underage Children

(Manitou Springs, CO—March 13, 2023) Summit.org, in partnership with McLaughlin and Associates—one of America’s most respected polling survey firms—is releasing the results of a recent national survey. Results were from a survey of 1,000 likely general election voters nationwide and was conducted February 17th through February 22nd.

“From TV to Tik Tok to drag shows and trans curriculum in schools, our children and grandchildren are being bombarded daily with the transgender ideology. But it doesn’t stop there–doctors are now routinely prescribing powerful drugs to kids as puberty blockers without FDA approval for such use. This polling shows that the American public is rightfully concerned, angry and want accountability for this targeting of kids,” said Dr. Jeff Myers, President of Summit.org and co-author of the new eBook Exposing the Gender Lie: How to Protect Children and Teens from the Transgender Industry’s False Ideology. “In our new book we show that the intentional targeting of children with transgender messaging results in serious psychological and physical harm. Children are being subjected to dangerous risks and lifelong side-effects, all to promote a radical ideology and reap massive profits for the transgender medical industry. Thankfully well-reasoned Americans are starting to push back, and this book is designed to equip them with the resources they need to protect their children from this medical and social scandal.”

All interviews were conducted online; survey invitations were distributed randomly within predetermined geographic units. These units were structured to correlate with actual voter turnout in the general election. This poll of 1,000 general election voters has an accuracy of +/- 3.1% at a 95% confidence interval.
