Verification note. Topline read from Marquette's MLSPSC27 topline HTML and confirmed in the MLSPSC27 trend topline; party breaks from the MLSPSC27 crosstab file ('party ID, leaners as partisans'). Marquette's release reports the combined figure as 71% favor / 29% oppose. || Release page retrieved and text-extracted in session; Table 9 and the appended question wording read directly.

United States v. Skrmetti (decided): favor/oppose the Court upholding Tennessee's ban

In June, the Supreme Court upheld a Tennessee law that prohibits medical providers from prescribing puberty-delaying medication or performing gender transition surgery for youth under 18. How much do you favor or oppose this decision?

Favor 72%28% Oppose

Wording notes: describes the law by its two most restricted interventions | asks about a completed Court decision, which can attract status-quo deference | Marquette states these items 'do not attempt to exactly frame the particular issues in specific cases but rather address the topic in more general terms'

neutral — Symmetric favor/oppose wording with an accurate summary of the holding; the description names puberty-delaying medication and surgery but not hormone therapy, and support for a decision already made is generally higher than support for the same policy in the abstract.
