CNN’s Enten: 79% of Americans Oppose Transgender Athletes in Female Sports, Including 67% of Democrats

EXCERPT:

ENTEN: “You know, when you get 79 percent of Americans to agree on anything, in this case opposition to transgender female athletes in women's sports, you got to believe that it's the majority across all parties, and that's, in fact, what we see. So transgender female athletes, again, opposing them in women's sports, you get 67 percent of Democrats, so two-thirds there. You get 64% of independents, you get about two-thirds there. And then look at this, near uniformity among Republicans, 94 percent of Republicans in opposition. You rarely get 67% of Democrats and 94% of Republicans to agree on anything, but they do on this particular issue. But it is not just that Republicans are in opposition. It's the strength of that opposition. OK, Republicans who strongly want to ban transgender female athletes from women's sports, get this, it's 84 percent who strongly want to ban them, and that is actually larger than the amount of Republicans who strongly want to deport all immigrants in America who are here illegally. So that just gives you an understanding of how strong the opposition is among Republicans. It is really strong when it comes to banning transgender female athletes from women's sports, Laura.”
