Unfortunately it goes the opposite way when it comes to banning GAC for trans minors. 65+ is -16% and under 30 is a tie.

Crosstabs for banning GAC for trans minors. Generally encouraging except for being too close and younger respondents being more in favor.

I agree with you. The 1st amendment is not absolute, even for political speech. But political speech is more protected and this appears especially true here.

ftc.gov:

My obligations as a marketer aside, I have a question as a consumer. Campaign season is upon us and I’ve been getting a lot of email urging me to support or donate to various political candidates. I’ve asked to be removed from their lists, but the email keeps on coming. Is this okay under the FTC’s rules?
CHRISTOPHER: The CAN-SPAM Act applies only to commercial email, whether sent individually or in bulk. It doesn’t apply to non-commercial bulk email. Furthermore, political messages are protected under the First Amendment. Of course, many groups not covered under the law have chosen voluntarily to honor UNSUBCRIBE requests. But if you’re getting unwanted email from entities not subject to CAN-SPAM that don't offer an UNSUBSCRIBE feature, another option is to contact them directly to express your preference not to receive more messages. (Don’t just respond to the email, which may not be read.) If any group is trying to win you over – whether it's an advertiser, an advocacy group, a candidate, etc. – it could be persuasive to let them know how you feel.
