Sources
Verification note. Only the three items that break out transgender people specifically are captured (AA5_3, AA8_3, AA13_5); the rest of this LGBTQ omnibus asks about LGBT people in general and is out of scope. Wording, toplines and PID crosstabs read directly from the crosstabulation PDF. The PDF was located through a 2022 Morning Consult article that links it as a trend comparison, not through the 2019 release.
Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.

So far, do you think President Trump's policies have mostly helped, mostly hurt, or haven't had much of an effect on the following groups? Transgender people
Mostly hurt
42%
Mostly helped
7%
Neither helped nor hurt
28%
Don't know / No opinion
22%
Wording notes: asks about effect, not approval, so a respondent can say 'mostly hurt' and approve of that | one item in a battery covering several groups
neutral — a symmetric helped/hurt/no-effect item with an explicit no-opinion option; deliberately separates perceived effect from evaluation
Subgroup figures (12)
belief about existing federal workplace protection for transgender people
To the best of your knowledge, are each of the following people protected from discrimination by FEDERAL law in the workplace?
To the best of your knowledge, are each of the following people protected from discrimination by FEDERAL law in the workplace? Transgender individuals
Yes
42%
No
23%
Don't know / No opinion
35%
Wording notes: a knowledge item rather than an attitude item - fielded a year before Bostock, when the answer was legally unsettled | 'FEDERAL' capitalised in the original to distinguish from state law
neutral — a factual-knowledge item with a genuine don't-know option; the notable result is that Republicans were the most likely to believe protection already existed (53%), which bears on how the Equality Act debate was received
Subgroup figures (9)
perceived stance of one's own place of worship toward transgender people
To the best of your knowledge, does your place of worship favor or oppose the following:
To the best of your knowledge, does your place of worship favor or oppose the following: Transgender people
Wording notes: asks respondents to report an institution's stance, not their own | 'favor or oppose ... transgender people' treats a group of people as a policy object | asked only of the subset with a place of worship (n=1566 of 2200)
unclear — the favor/oppose scale is symmetric, but applying it to a category of people rather than to a policy is an unusual construction, and the very large don't-know share (39%) suggests many respondents could not report a congregational position
