Sources
Verification note. Question wording and percentages transcribed directly from the free Napolitan News Service topline PDF. Full crosstabs are behind the Gold Circle Member paywall and were NOT retrieved, so no party breaks are recorded here except where the free news brief states them in prose. The news brief adds that 'Just 35% favor teaching that children can decide their own gender, regardless of their biological attributes', but the wording and full distribution of that item are not in the free mini-topline and are NOT recorded here.
Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.
Questions asked (2)
Trump executive order defunding schools that teach children they can choose their own genders
President Trump has issued an executive order removing funding from any school that teaches children that they can choose their own genders. Do you favor or oppose this executive order?
Favor (total) 59%
Wording notes: 'teaches children that they can choose their own genders' adopts the order's own characterization of what schools do | the sanction (removing all funding from the school) is stated without any counterweight | Trump named as the actor
tilts_restrictive — the description of the prohibited conduct is taken verbatim from the order's framing rather than from anything a curriculum says, so agreement can be driven purely by rejecting a practice most respondents would not endorse in any case
firing school administrators who defy the executive order
Some school administrators have indicated that they plan to defy President Trump's executive order. Should a school administrator who defies the order and teaches that children can choose their own genders be fired?
Wording notes: 'defy' frames the administrator as a lawbreaker before the sanction is asked about | asked immediately after the favor/oppose item on the same order, so the prior answer anchors this one | no option short of firing is offered
tilts_restrictive — consequence items placed directly after a policy-approval item inherit its framing; 'defies the order' supplies a compliance frame, and the only alternative to firing is no consequence at all
