Since 2021, at least eight states have signed into law bills restricting bathroom use.
I asked Prior why these bills succeeded when similar legislation had so resoundingly failed not even a decade ago.
Last fall, a Public Religion Research Institute survey found an 18-point shift in favor of restrictive bathroom policies among political independents since 2016, and a 17-point shift among all Americans.
The Public Religion Research Institute survey found that while independents have soured significantly on transgender policies, the largest swing by far has been among Republicans.
In another postelection study, TargetSmart, a Democratic data firm, matched Virginia’s 2021 election data to individual voters’ demographic information.
