Sources

Verification note. Totals and party breaks read from CBS News's own chart graphics for this poll (transgender-athletes.png and transgender-athletes-by-party.png, both labeled 'MOE +/- 3.1 PTS, APRIL 27-29, 2023'). The linked Scribd topline for this fielding could not be text-extracted, so the verbatim question wording is missing.

Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.
