Topic: Marist Poll

A segment from PBS NewsHour featuring "NBC Out" discusses the rise in state bills targeting LGBTQ issues. A Marist poll found that 43% of Americans support criminalizing gender-affirming care for minors, a 15% increase since 2021. The hosts dispute the terminology used, such as "gender-affirming care," labeling it a rewrite of language.

Polls from NPR and Marist show a sharp disapproval of President Biden's handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, though some analysts believe the political damage will be temporary. The Taliban is expected to engage in a PR campaign by helping the remaining Americans leave via commercial flights from Qatar.
