Massachusetts Question 3 vote intention (final pre-election wave)

Now I would like to ask you about several questions that will be on the ballot this November.

There will be a measure on the November ballot asking voters to approve a 2016 state law dealing with public accommodations for transgender people. A "yes" vote would keep in place the current law, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender identity in places of public accommodation. A "no" vote would repeal this provision of the public accommodation law. IF HAVE NOT VOTED, ASK If the election for this measure were held today, would you vote yes or no? IF UNDECIDED: How are you leaning as of today? IF ALREADY VOTED-Did you vote yes or no on this measure?

Yes (keep the law)
68%
No (repeal)
26%
Don't Know / Undecided (not read)
6%
