[GRID ITEMS RANDOMIZED, HALF SAMPLE ASKED RESPONSE OPTIONS IN REVERSE ORDER]
Do you favor, oppose, or neither favor nor oppose each of the following actions? Cutting federal funding for colleges and universities that allow transgender athletes in women's sports
Wording notes: bundles the sports question with a federal funding sanction, so opposition can express either support for trans athletes or opposition to defunding as a tool | asked in a grid with defunding over antisemitic speech, defunding over DEI programs, and arresting or deporting campus protesters | grid items randomized; half sample shown response options in reverse order
double_barreled — a respondent who opposes trans women in women's sports but also opposes cutting federal research funding as an enforcement mechanism has no way to express that combination
