For years on another site, I've been posting a weekly recap of the Rasmussen polls that the company has sent out emails about, along with some of the crosstabs if anyone expresses an interest--said crosstabs available due to the premium membership that reporters have to have to get access so they can use the crosstabs in their own news articles/opinion columns. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's any one section of this site generic enough for the full range of topics Rasmussen polls on (right down to how important people think the current big holiday is), so I'll have to break them up among the different sections. But that just means I'll be able to post daily instead of a weekly "newsletter"!
So yesterday's Rasmussen poll, what US Likely Voters think of their own state adopting a similar school law to Florida's, and on boycotting Florida because of it. The relevant portion of the law reads “Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.” The law's opponents have taken to calling it the "don't say gay" law, while its supporters have labeled it the "anti-grooming" law.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 62% of Likely U.S. Voters would support a law like Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill in their own state, including 45% who Strongly Support the measure. Twenty-nine percent (29%) would oppose a similar law in their own state, including 19% who Strongly Oppose it. Seventy-four percent (74%) of Republicans, 49% of Democrats and 66% of voters not affiliated with either major party would support a law like Florida’s in their own state. Critics have called for boycotting Florida over the new law, but most voters reject that idea. Fifty-one percent (51%) oppose boycotting Florida over the new school law, including 41% who Strongly Oppose a boycott. Thirty-nine percent (39%) support boycotting Florida, including 22% who Strongly Support a boycott. Another 10% are not sure.
