Sources

Verification note. Total and party rows read from Gallup's 2026-06-03 LGBTQ+ release; Survey Methods paragraph reproduced verbatim from the companion 2026-06-09 moral acceptability release from the same fielding. No transgender policy items (sports, documents, military) appear in the 2026 Values and Beliefs releases - only the moral acceptability item.

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