Questions asked (4)
which party would do a better job on transgender issues
Which political party -- the Democrats or the Republicans -- do you think would do a better job on each of the following? [IF EQUAL, ASK: If you had to say one way or the other...] [RANDOMIZE] ... Transgender issues
Democrats
56%
Republicans
43%
(Don't know)
1%
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; neither party is systematically named first. The undefined term 'Transgender issues' is a measurement limitation, not a directional tilt.

transgender issues named unprompted as the most important problem facing the country
What do you think is the most important issue facing the country today?
Wokeness / Transgender issues
0%
Wording notes: Fox's coding scheme collapses 'Wokeness' and 'Transgender issues' into a single category
neutral — Standard unprompted MIP item; the merged 'Wokeness / Transgender issues' code is an analytic choice, not a wording tilt.

Wording notes: presupposes there is an issue the party should talk about less | rotated as a pair with the parallel Republican item, which balances the pair
neutral — The item presupposes that some issue should be de-emphasized, but Fox rotates it as a matched pair with the identical Republican-directed item, so the presupposition falls equally on both parties. Open-ended capture avoids priming any specific issue.
