A new poll found that a much greater number of registered voters approved of what is in Florida’s parental rights law when it is accurately described to them than those that opposed it.
Supporters of the law have decried efforts in the media to label the legislation as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill in order to mislead the public and foster opposition to the law.
A poll released on Wednesday from Public Opinion Strategies found that 61% of those polled supported the law when it was described accurately, and only 26% opposed the law. Even among Democrats, 55% said they supported the bill while only 29% said they opposed the bill.
Support for the bill increased when the poll focused on parents, 70% of which approved of the bill while only 24% said they opposed it.
Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the legislation into law on Tuesday despite the outrage that included many falsely claiming the law banned anyone from using the word “gay” in schools.
The poll instead uses text from the legislation itself to gauge public opinion. “Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in Kindergarten through third grade or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.” The poll also found that only one in 10 Americans supported the policy of removing gender from birth certificates in order to accommodate alternate gender designations.
When registered voters were asked if transgender athletes should be only allowed to compete in sports competitions that match their birth genders, 60% agreed with the statement while only 24% disagreed.
The results of the new polling closely matched that of previous polling from the Daily Wire and from Morning Consult. The poll was conducted among 1,000 registered voters […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
