http://www.bilerico.com/2011/06/cap_poll_support_for_trans_rights.phpA Center for American Progress poll shows huge support for LGBT rights, as I discussed yesterday. But the poll also shows some very interesting results regarding trans rights and regarding the levels of support for LGBT rights in various regions.

Interestingly, this poll used a split sample to test the question of how much support levels changed when trans rights were included. Half of the sample were asked whether they favor 'protecting gay and lesbian people from discrimination in employment,' while the other half was asked whether they favor these protections for 'gay, lesbian, and transgender people.' No prompt was given to explain any of these terms, so respondents may or may not have understood exactly what they were being asked.
