US EditionTransgender issues are a strength for Trump, AP-NORC poll finds
- A recent AP-NORC survey conducted in May 2025 revealed that roughly 50% of American adults support President Trump's approach to transgender issues, including the enforcement of military service restrictions.
- This follows Trump's executive orders to define sex by birth characteristics, exclude transgender service members, and restrict transgender girls from female sports.
- The Supreme Court reversed lower courts and allowed enforcement of the transgender military ban, while legal challenges and expected rulings on healthcare bans proceed.
- The poll found that most people oppose public funding for gender-affirming treatments for youth and disagree with allowing bathroom access based on gender identity, while roughly two-thirds of respondents believe sex is determined at birth.
- These findings reflect deep public divisions on transgender issues and highlight Trump's relative support amid ongoing cultural and legal debates over rights and definitions of gender.
