Sources

Verification note. WORDING RECOVERY SWEEP. The literal item and its full frequency table were read out of the Elon Poll full report PDF (October 4, 2016 release), section 'House Bill 2'. The database previously carried Elon's release narrative, which described what HB2 does rather than reproducing the question - the fielded item does NOT describe the law's content at all, it names it only as 'HB2, also known as the Bathroom Bill'.

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

Wording notes: adopts the popular nickname 'the Bathroom Bill' inside the stem | gives no description of what the law does, so the answer depends on prior knowledge

loaded_terms — 'the Bathroom Bill' is an advocacy-derived nickname rather than a neutral description; because the item supplies no content, responses turn on whatever the respondent associates with that label
