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.
