Here are how the poll results, released Tuesday, break down:
- 36% believe transgenderism is a healthy human condition.
- 72% do not believe elementary schools should teach about sexual identity and sexual behavior.
- 90% say minors should be required to wait until they are legal adults before undergoing permanent gender alteration, compared to 10% who say minors should be encouraged to undergo gender alteration.

The poll, conducted April 22-26, surveyed 1,000 people. The margin of error is 3.1%.
