Wording notes: 'As you may know' preamble asserts the policy is already moving forward, which can create a bandwagon cue | restricted to women's teams only | national sample asked about one state's bill
tilts_restrictive — the preamble presents the ban as the status quo direction of travel and the item then asks only about women's sports, the frame most favourable to restriction; Democrats supporting at 47% is anomalously high relative to comparable items and is consistent with a preamble effect
