Showing Original Post only (View all)ALERT: 538 includes anti-trans national push poll, dropping Biden's avg. to +8.5% [View all]
I was quite shocked to find that 538 had included a national poll of 3500 LVs from Spry Strategies showing Biden +2% .
Ive never heard of Spry Strategies, so I clicked through to the data page and found this:
A new poll conducted by Spry Strategies on behalf of Womens Liberation Front found that a majority of likely 2020 voters disagree with policies related to gender identity, such as those included in the proposed Equality Act, that would remove protections for women in single-sex spaces such as prisons, shelters, and sports. The results are based on a national sample of 3,500 likely voters and include detailed representation across regions, ethnicity, sex, and political affiliation. Black and Hispanic voters are more likely to support protections for single-sex spaces, especially on issues such as prison and homelessness which disproportionately impact communities of color.
Key Results
Voters overwhelmingly disapprove of policies that allow the placement of male sexual offenders or domestic abusers in womens prisons, with only seven percent of voters supporting such policies. Two out of every three likely voters (66.93 percent) state that they strongly disagree with such policies, including a majority of liberal voters who disagree with such policies.
The poll also revealed cross-partisan disapproval of gender identity based policies, such as those impacting single-sex sports. The majority of voters of all parties (66.96 percent) state that men or boys who identify as transgender should not be permitted to compete in women and girls athletics.
A majority of voters also disagree with allowing men who identify as transgender in womens changing rooms (56.86 percent) and homeless shelters (53.19 percent).

The Right needs these type polls to be legitimatized so they can justify election theft.
