Sources
Verification note. Kansas topline (46 favor / 40 oppose / 14 unsure) and methodology read from KCUR/Midwest Newsroom reporting, retrieved in session. NOT VERIFIED: the Emerson topline PDF for this four-state project could not be located, so the question stem here is the reporter's description, not the fielded wording. Parallel Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska fieldings exist and are a known gap. Note also that the KCUR announcement gives two different field windows in one story (Sept. 26-Oct. 2 in the body, Sept. 24-27 in the methodology block); the methodology block is used here.

[Do you favor or oppose] bans on hormonal treatments, medical surgeries and other gender-affirming care for minors
Wording reconstructed from: KCUR/Kansas News Service description of the Midwest Newsroom-Emerson result; the Emerson topline for this survey was not located.
Wording notes: BAN framing (favor = restrict) | enumerates hormonal treatments and surgeries then adds 'and other gender-affirming care' | explicit unsure option, taken by 14% | no age threshold beyond 'minors'
unclear — Cannot be assessed properly without the fielded stem. As reported, the enumeration closely tracks Gallup's Form B, and the Kansas result (46 favor) sits 10 points above Gallup's national Form B (36 favor) - consistent with a redder electorate plus a registered-voter rather than adult universe, rather than with a wording effect.
