Sources

Verification note. Question wording, total and party percentages retrieved from the Marquette Law School Poll release page. Marquette reports this battery two-way (favor/oppose summing to 100), so undecideds are excluded. The full crosstab PDF was not separately retrieved; party-column Ns are therefore unknown.

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

Trump executive order defining sex as male/female only and requiring federal documents including passports to reflect birth sex

Asked within a battery of favor/oppose items on early Trump administration executive actions.

Do you favor or oppose President Trump's executive order requiring federal agencies to recognize biological sex as male or female only, eliminate references to gender identity in policies, and require federal documents, such as passports, to reflect biological sex, not gender identity?

Favor 63%37% Oppose

Wording notes: bundles three distinct policy components into one item (binary sex recognition, removal of gender identity references from policy, document/passport markers) | attributes the policy to President Trump by name, inviting partisan cue-taking | adopts the administration's own term 'biological sex' | reported two-way with undecideds excluded

double_barreled — Three separable policies are combined into a single favor/oppose choice, so a respondent who supports one component and opposes another cannot say so. Naming Trump converts part of the measure into presidential approval. 'Biological sex' is the administration's framing rather than a neutral descriptor. All three features push the favor share upward relative to a decomposed, unattributed version.
