Americans like transgender servicemembers more than they like Trump


By Gwendolyn Smith · Wednesday, January 30, 2019

In spite of a recent move by the U.S. Supreme Court to let the Trump administration’s transgender military ban proceed, the most recent Quinnipiac University poll shows that 70% of Americans support transgender troops.

That number is higher than those supporting the architect of the ban, President Donald Trump: the same poll shows that just 38% of those polled approve of the president’s job performance.

Only 22% of respondents support the ban.

“It’s crystal clear that the far majority of Americans reject Donald Trump’s reckless, discriminatory attack on our nation’s brave transgender service members,” said AMPA President Ashley Broadway-Mack via a press release.
