Most Americans believe transgender individuals should be allowed to serve in the military, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Friday.
The poll, conducted from Wednesday to Friday, suggested that the country largely disagrees with President Donald Trump's announcement on Wednesday that he will ban transgender personnel from the armed forces.
When asked to weigh in on the debate, 58 percent of adults agreed with the statement "Transgender people should be allowed to serve in the military." Twenty-seven percent said they should not, while the remaining 15 percent answered "don't know."
