We’re not big on polls here, but Rasmussen is the most reliable pollster that I know of.
“Most Americans support the boycott of Anheuser-Busch over Bud Light's tie-up with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney and say big corporations give too much attention to trans people, a new poll shows.
A Rasmussen Reports survey of some 1,000 adults found that the brewing giant 'stepped in a hornets' nest' by getting Mulvaney, 26, a controversial TikToker, to promote their low-calorie beer.
The tie-up quickly backfired, with the likes of John Rich, Travis Tritt, and Kid Rock among dozens of conservative celebrities and politicians leading a boycott that wiped billions off the firm's value within days.
'We now have polling numbers back in, and it's pretty clear they stepped in a hornets' nest,' Mark Mitchell, Rasmussen's head of polling, said in a video about the survey. …”
Apologies if this has already been posted but I didn't see it.
Real men of genius.
Endeavor to persevere.

One of the dumbest things I've read and not sure why it's worth mentioning on this forum. Rasmussen performs a poll saying that AB "stepped in a hornets nest", AFTER the company lost billions in value due to the public's backlash. Wow, shocking result of that poll. What tipped them off?

It continues to get worse... Now they are being sued for discriminatory hiring practices. There is an interesting poll shown in the video.

The whole thing is stupid, but perhaps the dumbest part, is that this "trans person" is a manic, vapid parody of a woman. I wager a lot of women find his whole "transition journey" and its very public nature deeply offensive. If Bud Light wanted to find a representative transwoman, I bet they could have found a carpenter or welder. America is a big fucking place. Instead they took the thoughtless easy way out. There are normal trans people out there, and the activists along with people like Mulvaney, are doing all the regular people a deep disservice.
Exactly this. If Bud Light had sent Caitlyn Jenner a can with her picture on it I doubt this would be an issue.
I don’t understand how anyone likes this Dylan fella, who is almost certainly just play acting as a trans woman. He lost his gig in theater during Covid and decided to get on what he describes as a social media app meant for kids and become a woman.
And he does so in the most vapid and over the top way possible. His whole “March madness” commercial was absurd and it should be an insult to all women that this dude thinks that to be a real woman means being a brainless airhead bimbo.
It’s insane that these corporations and politicians push this trans nonsense anyway, but if you are going to, at least pick a person who is a genuine person and isn’t an insult to women everywhere.
