LA Times/NORC Poll: Pols Use Trans Issues to Divert Attention

A recent poll reveals that a significant majority of Americans believe politicians use transgender issues to divert attention from crucial political issues, Breitbart reported.

Seventy-seven percent of Americans think politicians are using transgender issues to distract voters from more pressing political matters, according to a poll conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago for the Los Angeles Times and funded by The California Endowment.

The survey did not specify whether Americans attribute this tactic more to Republican or Democrat politicians. However, the poll explored public opinion on the broader focus on transgender issues, asking, “Do you think this is a good thing for society, a bad thing for society, or neither a good nor bad thing for society?”
