Voters who support Biden and Trump have starkly different opinions on many issues, and these two groups are divided internally as well.
As a shop that studies human behavior through surveys and other social scientific techniques, we have a good line of sight into the contradictory nature of human preferences. Here’s a look at how we categorize our survey participants in ways that enhance our understanding of how people think and behave.
As the United States celebrates Pride month, here are five key findings about LGBTQ+ Americans.
Nearly six-in-ten want organizations working for Black progress to address the distinct challenges facing Black LGBTQ people. Black Americans are more likely to know someone who is transgender or nonbinary than to identify as such themselves.
Around two-thirds of Black Democrats (66%) say that whether someone is a man or woman is determined by their sex at birth.
Republican and Democratic parents differ widely over what their children should learn at school about gender identity, slavery and other topics, but they are equally satisfied with the quality of education their children are receiving.
On a couple of policies related to transgender people, there is some agreement among Americans, but views of other policies are more divided.
Americans increasingly say gender is determined by one’s sex assigned at birth, but they differ by religion on this and other transgender issues.
The new survey covers topics such as whether the public thinks society is moving too quickly or not quickly enough on gender identity issues.
Most favor protecting trans people from discrimination, but fewer support policies related to medical care for gender transitions; many are uneasy with the pace of change on trans issues.
