Sources

Verification note. Question 52 wording and toplines read directly from Fox's complete national topline PDF. Party crosstabs were not retrieved; subgroup figures reported in the Fox News write-up (Republicans 72% favor, men 60%, women 50%, parents 58%) are from the news story rather than the topline and are recorded here as reported.

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

state laws banning teachers from discussing sexual orientation or gender identity before fourth grade

Moving on...

Recently some states have proposed laws that ban teachers from discussing sexual orientation or gender identity with students before the fourth grade. Would you favor or oppose this law in your state?

Favor 55%41% Oppose

Wording notes: describes the policy only by its age cutoff, not by its enforcement mechanism or private-right-of-action provisions | bundles sexual orientation and gender identity into one object (double-barreled) | 'discussing ... with students' is broader than the statutory text of the Florida law it references

double_barreled — The item asks about sexual orientation and gender identity together, so a favor/oppose answer cannot separate views on the two. The framing is otherwise even-handed - 'favor or oppose' is symmetric and the policy is described neutrally as something 'some states have proposed' - but the neutral-sounding phrase 'discussing ... with students' understates what the underlying statutes restrict, which tends to raise support.
