Overview (reposted from Faunalytics’ website):

The purpose of this study was to understand the level of public support or opposition to farmed animal welfare legislation⁠—from banning factory farms to funding alternative protein research and development ⁠—in ten U.S. states where legal advocacy is underway or under consideration. Using representative samples, we polled approximately 1,000 participants from each of the following states: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, and Wisconsin. Advocates working in these states can use these findings to choose appropriate issues to target or to present to lawmakers as evidence of support.
