Most Americans believe that it’s a “problem” that Republicans are transphobic.
A new YouGov poll asked Americans whether they thought that certain issues were a “problem” for either party. 44% said that transphobia was “a major problem” among Republicans, and another 24% said they thought it was “a minor problem.” Only 32% of respondents said it wasn’t a problem.
Transphobia was the second most likely issue to be labeled a problem by respondents, after “hostility toward immigrants.” “Tolerance of political violence,” “conspiracy thinking,” “white supremacy,” “homophobia,” and “fascism” followed closely behind.
Oddly, 40% of respondents said that “transgender ideology” was “a major problem” for Republicans, and another 20% said it was “a minor problem.” 41% said that they didn’t think it was a problem at all for Republicans.

Digging into the survey a lil bit, I'd be very skeptical of the results.
The question: "How big of a problem do you think the following are among members of the Democratic Party?" is ambiguous.
I read this language to possibly mean ( a ) "which issues do you think are the largest in the minds of democrats," or ( b ) "which issues that democrats prioritize are bad," or even ( c ) "how big of a problem are members of the democratic party when it comes to [thing from list]"
