I don’t believe that.

No one believes this poll.

The problem with these polls is multiple.
1. They often use loaded questions to guilt the poll takers in the direction the pollsters want. "Do you support legislation that would discriminate against trans people?" allows no room for nuance.
2. Sample size is often little more than 1,000 people. That is useless when trying to claim the poll represents the views of over 300 million people.
3. They are not always transparent in how many of each party affiliation were part of the sample. It usually is not equal amounts of each.
Also, there is a reason the media outlets write articles about the poll results and link it rather than just publish the poll itself - to use specific language to further push the narrative they want. If people were to actually read the poll results, they'd see the above information and realize it lacks sufficient credibility. Most people don't have time to read both.

The question is too vague
"Transition related medical care" is too vague as to then apply the results of that poll to include both hormone therapy and surgery. Someone might look at that question and assume it might cover things like counseling.

I only read the headline but it's just another bullshite poll trying to normalize the narrative. Just like the Biden polls were trying to normalize the blatant cheating, this is trying to normalize child abuse and pedophilia. It's not enough to mutilate minds anymore, now they want to mutilate bodies. The left has become a collective Josef Mengele

NPR must have been polling its own staff.

ALL POLLS ARE bullshite!

That poll says Gender Transition medical care. Not gender reassignment surgery. I don't give a shite if a tranny needs medical care, but you're going to be treated as your biological sex. Not your chosen one.

This poll brought to you by NPR of Portland, Oregon, news for the progressive, communist crowd.
