Sources
Verification note. Total and full party/ideology crosstabs read directly from Fox's January 29, 2026 national crosstab PDF (question 31). Totals independently corroborated by the trend table in Fox's April 17-20, 2026 topline. The January 2026 topline PDF returned HTTP 403, so exact sample size, mode counts and release-date language are carried over from Fox's standard 2026 methodology statement as printed in the April 2026 topline rather than read from the January document itself.
Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.

Wording notes: 'Transgender issues' is left undefined, so respondents supply their own referent | the IF EQUAL probe pushes undecideds into a two-party choice, suppressing the middle category
neutral — Symmetric two-party forced choice within a rotated issue battery. The undefined term 'Transgender issues' is a measurement limitation, not a directional tilt.
