A Rasmussen Reports poll, released Tuesday, shows that a slim majority — 51% — of Americans oppose allowing male-to-female transgender athletes to compete in women’s sporting events.

A mere 29% of Americans support “allowing transgender students to participate on the sports teams of the gender they identify with” without question, according to the Washington Examiner. Some 20% of individuals polled are currently “undecided” on the issue — a number unchanged from the same poll when it was taken over the summer.
