Sources
Verification note. Percentages read directly off the four-state comparison chart on p.7 of the Emerson College Polling report PDF linked from the KCUR write-up. Bar values were resolved by extracting word coordinates from the PDF so the Oppose/Unsure/Favor bars could not be transposed. Missouri's three values sum to 101 because of rounding, as printed. The report says full wording, crosstabs and demographics exist under 'Full Results' but that file was not located. || NOT VERIFIED. The figures below (46 favor / 40 oppose / 14 unsure) appear in Kansas news coverage of this poll, but thebeaconnews.org and the other pages carrying them returned HTTP 403, so the numbers come only from a search-engine synthesis and were not confirmed against a fetched primary source. Treat them as a lead to confirm. Field window, sample size and MoE come from the Nebraska Public Media press release.
Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.

laws banning certain types of gender-affirming care for minors
Gender-affirming care, refers to various measures including psychological support, hormonal treatments, and medical surgeries that help transgender individuals align with their gender identity.
Gender-affirming care, refers to various measures including psychological support, hormonal treatments, and medical surgeries that help transgender individuals align with their gender identity. Do you favor or oppose laws that ban certain types of gender-affirming care for minors?
Wording notes: supplies a definition of gender-affirming care before asking | definition leads with 'psychological support' and includes surgeries | asks about banning 'certain types' rather than all such care
neutral — Favor and oppose are both offered with an explicit unsure option, and the supplied definition is descriptive rather than evaluative. The hedge 'certain types' softens the ban being tested, which could move responses in either direction.
