Anything less than 100% is a bit disappointing, to be honest, but this is promising. Trans rights are human rights!

    90% for an issue like this is really fucking impressive, to the point I doubt the result. If you ask people about anything, there will be 5-10% of people who mishear/misread the question/accidentally click on the wrong button/don't care about the poll/etc. If you asked people whether they are currently alive, you will get similar numbers.

    The poll was done by redbridge, one of the major political pollsters here. Though pollsters do occasionally get it wrong on political issues, I honestly don't think they would publish such an overwhelming result if they didn't believe it was robust.

    Though the op's article was from October, the poll was done and published early this year, just before our federal elections. The same election where the conservatives tried to go with MAGA-style culture wars. So if I had to guess, there may be an element of fatigue with the strategy of cosying up with the far right fringes shown in the result of the poll.

    And yet they still didn't get the message. After their disastrous loss, there were still many in the party that said it was because they didn't go far enough right..

    100% of people don't even think the earth is round. Please lower your expectations.

    Unlike leftists, Nazis are really good at working with people they disagree with. They purge in stages, starting with the most isolated targets, like trans people. They only go after other Nazis when they already control the government.

    Are there any issues that have 100% agreement on anything?

    Very impressive to see 91% though. Go Australia!
