Sources
Verification note. This fielding is known ONLY from the trend table printed in the March 23-24, 2026 Napolitan topline PDF, which lists the Yes/No percentages for prior waves of this tracking item. The 'Not sure' share, the sample size, the margin of error and the release date for this specific wave were NOT retrieved; sample size and MoE are left null rather than assumed from Napolitan's usual n=1,000 / +/-3.1. Item wording is the wording printed on the same topline page that carries the trend table, which the pollster presents as the wording of the whole series (the sole exception, November 13 2024, is footnoted by the pollster as 'participate in' rather than 'compete in' and is recorded separately).
Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.
Questions asked (1)
whether trans women should be allowed to compete in women's sports
Should biological males who identify as women be allowed to compete in women's sports events?
Wording notes: 'biological males who identify as women' is the restrictive-side term of art and the only descriptor offered | no counter-framing or competing consideration offered | yes/no rather than a scaled item, which suppresses intensity
loaded_terms — the stem uses only the opponents' description of trans women ('biological males who identify as women') and asks a bare permission question with no countervailing consideration; the referent is also unbounded as to level of competition, age, or medical status
