Sources
Verification note. Figures and methodology taken from Fox News's report on the American Principles Project Foundation survey, retrieved in session. NOT VERIFIED against a topline: APP did not publish a public topline that could be located, so the question stems here are the reporter's descriptions and question_text_verbatim is false. Field dates and sample size were not reported.
Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.
Questions asked (2)
children under 18; puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones AND physical sex-change surgeries bundled; BAN framing; sponsor is an anti-trans advocacy organization
[Would you support or oppose] a ban on puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and physical sex-change surgeries for children under 18
Wording reconstructed from: Fox News description of the American Principles Project Foundation survey; no public topline located.
Support a ban
56%
Would not support a ban
34%
Wording notes: BAN framing (support = restrict) | uses the contested clinical terms 'cross-sex hormones' and 'physical sex-change surgeries' rather than 'gender-affirming care' | bundles three treatments of very different prevalence | explicit under-18 threshold | says 'children' rather than 'minors' or 'adolescents' | sponsored and released by an organization campaigning for these bans
loaded_terms — 'Cross-sex hormones' and 'physical sex-change surgeries' are movement vocabulary, not clinical or journalistic usage, and 'children' rather than 'adolescents' front-loads the youngest cases. Combined with the sponsor's public campaign for these bans and the absence of a released topline, this is the least independently checkable poll in the file - included precisely because its wording is a documented example of the restrictive end of the wording spectrum.
children under 18; agreement that children are too young to decide to 'undergo sex changes'
[Agree or disagree that] children were too young for the decision to undergo sex changes
Wording reconstructed from: Fox News description; no public topline located.
Agree children are too young
63%
Wording notes: states the conclusion in the stem and asks for assent | 'sex changes' is the most dated and pejorative treatment description in the file | no treatment, age band or clinical context
loaded_terms — An agree/disagree item that asserts its own conclusion using the phrase 'sex changes'. Reported at 63% agreement, seven points above the same poll's ban item, which illustrates how much higher restrictive numbers run when the item is an argument rather than a policy.
