Anheuser-Busch, the parent company of Bud Light, just got some very bad news from the Rasmussen polling outfit.
According to a recent Rasmussen poll, 54% of American adults support a boycott of Anheuser-Busch following the company’s decision to use transgender model Dylan Mulvaney to promote Bud Light.
In contrast, only 30% of Americans oppose the boycott.

When asked if major corporations pay too much or not enough attention to transgender issues, 52% responded that they give “too much” attention, while only 18% said, “not enough.” Fifteen percent believed the attention is “about right.”
Regarding whether the inclusion of Mulvaney on a can of Bud Light made them more or less likely to purchase the product, only 19% said they would be “more likely,” with 40% saying they would be “less likely.”
Thirty-seven percent stated that it made no difference to them.
The debate over the ad campaign has caught the attention of prominent figures, including Donald Trump Jr., who called on conservatives to end their boycott of Budweiser and Anheuser-Busch.
He argued that destroying an iconic American company over this issue would be counterproductive.
The controversy surrounding Anheuser-Busch’s decision to feature a transgender individual in its advertising campaign reflects broader societal tensions over LGBTQ+ issues.
For decades, Americans have coexisted with transgender individuals, drag queens, and transvestites, as evidenced by movies and TV shows such as “Too Wong Foo,” “Rocky Horror Picture Show,” and “Bosom Buddies.”
However, in recent years, the political landscape has shifted as some individuals have sought to impose their beliefs on others, leading to tensions and backlash.
Critics argue that this has resulted in a push for policies allowing transgender individuals to use bathrooms and locker rooms designated for the opposite sex, as well as transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.
Moreover, some people feel that the normalization of transgender issues has led to the sexualization of children, with concerns over the use of puberty blockers and surgeries for minors.
Despite these ongoing debates, many Americans still maintain a live-and-let-live approach when it comes to the personal choices of consenting adults.
They argue that what individuals choose to do with their lives and what companies choose to do with their advertising is ultimately their own business, as long as they do not infringe on the rights of others or target children.
