Sources
Verification note. Percentages, field dates, sample size and methodology transcribed from the Morning Consult memo prepared for The Trevor Project. The memo is a summary document: it paraphrases most items rather than printing the literal question text, so question_text_verbatim is false except where the memo prints the item stem. Only one item (the Texas access-to-care item) carries a full published response set. No party crosstabs are printed except where noted.
Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.

vote likelihood for a candidate who supports criminalizing gender-affirming care for trans youth
Would you be more likely or less likely to vote for a candidate who supports criminalizing gender-affirming healthcare for transgender youth?
Wording reconstructed from: Paraphrased from the Morning Consult / Trevor Project memo, which reports the result but does not print the literal item text.
Less likely
42%
More likely
24%
Wording notes: 'criminalizing' is the memo's characterization; the literal stem is unavailable
unclear — the memo's summary language is advocacy-framed, but the literal stem was not published, so the wording as fielded cannot be judged

whether transgender minors should have access to gender-affirming care
Which of the following comes closest to your opinion, even if none are exactly right? [Transgender minors should have access to gender-affirming medical care if their doctor recommends it / if recommended by their doctor and supported by their parents / Parents should ultimately decide / Transgender minors should not have access to gender-affirming medical care]
Wording reconstructed from: Item stem and response set carried over from the Texas page of the same Morning Consult memo, which prints them; the Florida page reports only the collapsed net.
Transgender minors should not have access to gender-affirming medical care
21%
NET: should have access to gender-affirming care if recommended by their doctor and/or supported by their parents 54%
