"A plurality of American voters believe that people who are transgender should be permitted to choose which public restrooms to use, but a similar percentage say that state governments should not pass laws about the issue, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Forty percent of registered voters said that transgender people should be allowed to use the restroom of the gender with which they identify, while 31 percent said they should be legally prevented from doing so. Another 29 percent had no opinion."
