I would be curious where they did the polling and how many people they spoke too.
I can take you to communities in Australia where trans rights wouldn't even be understood then when explaining them they would want to kill the person.
I just find that number to high
Where from though? The demographics in Melbourne would be very different to Katherine or Alice Springs
Polling like this is done over the phone, they take numbers at random, and when you start getting into the 1000s in terms of a response, the samples become pretty accurate in terms of representation
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(statistics) theres probably more info here
also the snappy headline saya 91% sure, but looking at the article
for reference the population was 26million at the last census, and 91% of that is something like 23,660,000, so there's still a few million people who'd love to attack queer people, i've met plenty, but honestly most people dngaf about trans people, and have not met one irl
