Sources
Verification note. Wording, toplines and PID crosstabs read directly from Tables POL20_1 through POL20_3 of the crosstabulation PDF; the Morning Consult article reports the same figures. The parallel critical-race-theory items in the same battery are out of scope. The awareness item POL18_10 is not transcribed. || Percentages and methodology line read from the Morning Consult release, retrieved via a Wayback capture (the live morningconsult.com URL now redirects to a gated pro/intel domain). The Morning Consult/Politico topline PDF for this wave could not be located, so question wording is the release's description rather than the pollster's literal item text, and no party crosstabs were published in the write-up.
Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.
Questions asked (4)
K-3 ban on teaching sexual orientation and gender identity
As you may know, the Florida legislature has passed a bill - labeled by opponents as the 'Don't Say Gay' bill - limiting the teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity to Florida school students. Some say that limiting these discussions will protect children from inappropriate classroom topics, while others say it will block important conversations about LGBTQ issues.
As you may know, the Florida legislature has passed a bill - labeled by opponents as the 'Don't Say Gay' bill - limiting the teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity to Florida school students. Some say that limiting these discussions will protect children from inappropriate classroom topics, while others say it will block important conversations about LGBTQ issues.To what extent do you support or oppose the following items in the bill? Banning the teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity from kindergarten through third grade
Wording notes: balanced-argument preamble supplies one pro and one con rationale before the items | the pro argument ('protect children from inappropriate classroom topics') presupposes that the topics are inappropriate, while the con argument is framed as blocking conversation | opponents' label 'Don't Say Gay' is attributed rather than adopted | a national sample of registered voters is asked about one state's bill
tilts_restrictive — the shared preamble's supportive rationale asserts that the topics are 'inappropriate', which is the contested premise of the bill; the opposing rationale is comparatively procedural

School policyparaphrasedsupport/oppose
Florida Parental Rights in Education Act - K-3 ban on instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity
Would you support or oppose a provision banning the teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity from kindergarten through third grade? [Survey wording laid out arguments made by the bill's supporters that limiting these discussions would protect children from inappropriate classroom topics as well as the opponents' views that it would block important conversations about LGBTQ issues.]
Wording reconstructed from: Reconstructed from the Morning Consult release, which describes the provision and states that the survey wording laid out both supporters' and opponents' arguments. The literal item text was not published in the retrievable write-up.
Wording notes: balanced two-sided argument frame supplied to respondents | policy described by its provisions, not by the 'Don't Say Gay' label
neutral — the release states both the proponents' and opponents' rationales were supplied, and the bill was described by its provisions rather than by either side's nickname
School policyparaphrasedsupport/oppose
Florida Parental Rights in Education Act - 'age appropriate' limit after third grade
Would you support or oppose a provision limiting lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity after third grade to 'age appropriate' discussions?
Wording reconstructed from: Paraphrase from the Morning Consult release; literal item text not published in the retrievable write-up.
Wording notes: 'age appropriate' is the bill's own framing and is undefined for the respondent
unclear — the phrase 'age appropriate' carries a built-in favorable valence, but the release indicates opposing arguments were also supplied; the literal wording is unavailable, so a firm judgment is not possible
School policyparaphrasedsupport/oppose
Florida Parental Rights in Education Act - private right of action for parents
Would you support or oppose allowing parents to sue school districts over alleged violations of restrictions on sexual orientation and gender identity discussions in schools?
Wording reconstructed from: Paraphrase from the Morning Consult release; literal item text not published in the retrievable write-up.
neutral — enforcement mechanism described without valenced language
