Sources

Verification note. Mason-Dixon published no topline document that could be located; all figures come from Spectrum News 1 Kentucky's write-up of 23 February 2023, which prints the question in quotation marks as 'the following question' asked and gives total, party, gender and regional breaks. Sponsor/commissioning client is not named in the coverage and was not identified - this matters because a Mason-Dixon poll of this kind is usually commissioned. Exact sample size stated only as 'over 625'.

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

state overriding parents' decisions to obtain puberty-regulating care for a transgender teenager

Would you support or oppose a proposed Kentucky law that would allow the state to overrule parents' decisions to obtain certain health care for their transgender teenager, such as certain medications that can regulate the onset of puberty?

Wording notes: frames the ban as the state overruling parents rather than as protecting minors | specifies puberty-regulating medication rather than surgery | no strength-of-opinion scale

tilts_affirming — the item frames a youth-care ban entirely as state override of parental authority - the framing most favourable to opponents of the ban - and narrows the treatment at issue to puberty-regulating medication; the same policy framed as 'banning gender transition procedures for minors' polls very differently. This is a judgment about the wording, not about the pollster.
