Sources
Verification note. percentages and party breaks retrieved from the EveryLibrary Institute's review of recent book-ban polls; the Michigan Library Association's own release was not retrieved, so sample size, mode, field dates (recorded at month precision) and margin of error are missing. This was the only poll in the EveryLibrary review that isolated gender-identity content specifically rather than book bans in general.
Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.
banning library books discussing gender identity
Do you think books with discussions about sex, gender identity or sexual orientation should never be banned, should sometimes be banned, or should always be banned?
Wording reconstructed from: reconstructed from the EveryLibrary Institute's quotation of the item ('books with discussions about sex, gender identity or sexual orientation') and its three response categories
Should never be banned
67%
Should sometimes be banned
21%
Should always be banned
9%
Wording notes: bundles sex, gender identity and sexual orientation into one item, so the gender-identity share cannot be isolated | sponsored by a library trade association with an institutional stake in the answer
unclear — the double-barreled bundling of three distinct content categories makes the result hard to attribute; 'banned' is also a more negatively valenced term than 'removed' or 'restricted'
