When it comes to that new law in Florida, Disney is on the wrong side of the public -- and it isn't even close!
Yes, critics have slammed a new Florida state law restricting gender and sexual orientation instruction for young public school students, but a majority of voters nationwide support it.
In fact, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 62% of likely U.S. voters would support a law like Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill in their own state, including 45% who strongly support the measure. Twenty-nine percent (29%) would oppose a similar law in their own state, including 19% who strongly ooppose it. (To see survey question wording, click here.) Yes, the figure are that lopsided!
No matter what you may heave heard about the bill, the relevant passage of the law simply reads: “Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.”
Seventy-four percent (74%) of Republicans, 49% of Democrats and 66% of voters not affiliated with either major party would support a law like Florida’s in their own state. The key figure here of course is unaffiliated voters and two out of three of them support the law. Plus, nearly half of Democrats also feel that way!
And here's more: majorities of every racial category – 63% of whites, 61% of Black voters and 64% of other minorities – would support a law similar to Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill in their own state.
The survey of 1,000 U.S. Likely Voters was conducted on March 15-16, 2022 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
