Californians oppose transgender athletes in women’s sports. From Politico,
Most Californians think transgender athletes should be required to play on sports teams matching their sex assigned at birth, rather than their gender identity.
Sixty-five percent of the state’s likely voters — and nearly half of Democrats — support such rules, according to a poll released Thursday by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California.
These “man bites dog” headlines are appearing with increasing frequency. Politico continues,
The findings shed light on the motivations of Democratic politicians like Gov. Gavin Newsom who, even in deep blue California, have broken ranks with many in their party to express their discomfort with trans girls and women competing on sports teams matching their gender identity.
Even if Gov. Newsom has taken the hint, his Democratic colleagues in Sacramento seem to have not noticed the centrist shift in the state’s electorate. From Politico,
Democratic state legislators have not followed their lead. Assembly Democrats did give two Republican bills banning trans women from women’s sports a hearing, but shot both of them down. Next week, a state Senate panel is expected to reject a similar proposal.
In a similar vein, I keep reading about the complete collapse of Pres. Trump’s popularity in the face of a massive groundswell of opposition against his policies. But I keep not finding it. From Rasmussen Reports today,
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 51% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-seven percent (47%) disapprove.
In the first 88 days of Trump’s second term in office, Rasmussen has his approval rating underwater on only 6, and the trend has been upward over the past week.
Everything else is fake news.
