On this episode of A Numbers Game, Ryan Girdusky breaks down the latest polling data shaking up the political landscape—and exposing deep divisions within the Democratic coalition and the broader American public. Drawing on a national survey of over 3,000 registered voters, Ryan walks through the numbers on key transgender-related policies, including youth medical treatments, school sports participation, and bathroom access laws.
The data tells a striking story: while Republican voters remain largely unified, Democratic voters are increasingly split—raising serious questions about messaging, priorities, and the future of the culture war. Ryan explores why public opinion appears to be shifting, how activists and media figures are responding to inconvenient data, and what this means for upcoming elections.
Plus, Ryan offers a strategic warning to Republicans: even when the numbers are on your side, winning campaigns require more than a single issue. From polling insights to political strategy, this episode delivers a data-driven look at one of the most contentious debates in America today.
