A new Gallup poll reveals that more Americans are becoming familiar with transgender people, with nearly 1 in 3 Americans overall and half of all adults aged 18-29 saying they have a friend, relative, or colleague who is transgender.
The data is drawn from Gallup’s annual Values and Beliefs survey, which surveyed 1,016 adults over age 18, living in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, from May 3-18. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points, with a 95% confidence level.
