Base notes

Gallup's own trend table footnotes the 2025 reading of this item '^ Asked of a half sample'. The 2019 and 2021 readings in the same trend carry no such footnote, so the 2025 drop from 66% to 58% favor is measured on a different (smaller) base than the readings it is compared with. Gallup does not publish the half-sample n or margin of error.

Verification note. Toplines and party rows read from the Gallup release; Survey Methods paragraph reproduced from the same page. Fielded in the week Trump signed the executive actions reinstating a ban on openly transgender service members, so this reading is post-treatment relative to the 2019 and 2021 readings. || Emitted to record a methodological fact the database was missing rather than a new question. The three-row trend (Datawrapper chart g0WQ0, dataset.csv downloaded this session) gives 2025 Jan 21-27 = 58 favor / 35 oppose / 7 no opinion, 2021 May 3-18 = 66/33/1, 2019 May 15-30 = 71/26/2, with the half-sample caret on the 2025 row only. Field dates, interviewer (ReconMR) and n=1,001 are from the release's Survey Methods statement. || topline (58% favor) and party breaks read from the Gallup release; oppose/no-opinion percentages were not shown on the retrieved page
