Sources

Verification note. Wording and percentages transcribed directly from the Echelon Insights Verified Voter Omnibus topline PDF harvested from echeloninsights.com. Net figures and component shares were cross-checked against each other (the two 'strongly/somewhat' components sum to the printed net) to confirm the column alignment survived PDF text extraction. Echelon's public toplines carry field dates, n and margin of error but no weighting statement and no party crosstabs; the separately published crosstab decks were not parsed for this sweep. On this page the topline prints each percentage above its label; the reading recorded here is confirmed by the components summing to the printed nets (31+29=60 agree, 16+11=27 disagree, plus 13 unsure = 100).

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

Sportsagree/disagreein a trend series
whether Democrats agree with Gavin Newsom that trans women in women's sports is 'deeply unfair'

[If QPartyID = 2. Democrat OR QPartyLeanView = 2. Democrats, ask]

On his podcast, California Governor Gavin Newsom said that biological men who identify as women competing in women's sports was "deeply unfair." Do you agree with Newsom's statement? [RANDOMIZE SCALE 1-4, 4-1]

Wording notes: quotes 'biological men who identify as women' in the pollster's own stem, sourced to Newsom | attributes the position to a prominent Democrat, giving Democratic respondents an in-party cue to agree | asked only of Democrats and Democratic leaners | 'deeply unfair' is an emotive characterization carried into the stem as a quotation

tilts_restrictive — an in-party endorsement cue is one of the strongest known movers of partisan opinion; asking Democrats whether they agree with a leading Democrat's stated position measures deference to that cue as much as underlying opinion, and the quoted phrasing supplies the restrictive framing at no cost to the respondent
