PRRI American Values Atlas Mar. 2018 wave (LGBT module) · Mar 2018 – Mar 31, 2018 · US national

Data flag. SOURCE NOT CONTEMPORANEOUS: cites a 2026-uploaded PRRI topline whose own methodology section describes an Ipsos KnowledgePanel survey of n=22,111 fielded Feb-Dec 2025 - flatly contradicting this record's (correct) telephone/SSRS methodology for March 2018. The embedded 'Mar. 2018' trend row (34/36/16/9/5) matches the recorded figures, so the numbers are right and the citation is not. | re-sourced: PRRI's own 2018 AVA topline (N=40,292, March 14-Dec 16 2018) with discrete March 2018 weekly rows - replacing the 2025 online-panel topline whose methodology contradicted this record's telephone/SSRS design

Wording notes: bundles transgender people with gay, lesbian and bisexual people in one item | three policy domains combined in one question (jobs, public accommodations, housing)

neutral — symmetric favor/oppose scale, no loaded terms; the design limitation is that it is double-barreled across three policy domains and four identity groups, so transgender-specific support cannot be isolated
