Verification note. Wording and percentages taken from the 'For reference [9-12 Oct 22]' block printed inside Fox's own April 21-24, 2023 complete national topline. This October 2022 fielding used a two-point problem/not-a-problem scale rather than the three-point major/minor scale, so it is a distinct trend series. The original October 2022 release PDF was not retrieved, so sample size, MOE and release date are unconfirmed for this fielding.

Wording notes: presupposes that transgender school policies could be 'overly accommodating' | binary problem/not-a-problem scale with no intensity gradation | no counterpart item asking whether schools are insufficiently accommodating
tilts_restrictive — Same embedded premise as the three-point version: the stimulus is 'overly accommodating' policies, so the respondent is not offered a way to say schools are not accommodating enough. Collapsing to a two-point scale inflates the 'problem' share relative to the major/minor version fielded before and after it (60% here versus 44% major in Oct 2021 and 48% major in Apr 2023).
