Sources
Verification note. Field dates, N, mode, weighting, MoE and national plus party percentages read from PRRI's own 2022 American Values Survey report page. The report page paraphrases rather than fully quotes the stem of the bathroom and youth-medical items, so those two are flagged as not fully verbatim.
Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.
Questions asked (3)
whether there are only two genders or a range of genders
Respondents chose between two statements and then indicated whether they held that view strongly.
There are only two genders (male and female)
There are only two genders (male and female)
62%
There are only two genders - strongly
44%
There is a range of genders
35%
There is a range of genders - strongly
13%
Wording notes: forced binary between a two-gender and a range-of-genders statement with no middle option | the 88-point Republican-to-Democrat spread on this item is among the widest of any trans-related measure in the corpus
neutral — both statements are stated affirmatively and symmetrically; forcing a binary on a question about whether categories are binary is a design tension worth noting but is not directionally loaded
Subgroup figures (6)
laws requiring bathroom use matching sex at birth
Respondents rate each policy on a strongly favor / favor / oppose / strongly oppose scale.
Laws that require transgender individuals to use bathrooms that correspond to their sex at birth rather than their current gender identity
Wording reconstructed from: PRRI's 2022 report renders the item as policies requiring 'transgender individuals to use bathrooms that correspond to their sex at birth rather than their current gender identity'; the surrounding stem was not quoted, so the wording is reconstructed from the confirmed 2019 AVA battery text
Favor (net)
52%
Oppose (net)
44%
Wording notes: favor = restriction
neutral — restriction described in its own terms with both poles of the contrast named
Subgroup figures (3)
laws preventing parents from allowing a child to receive gender transition care
Laws that would prevent parents from allowing their child to receive medical care for a gender transition
Wording notes: frames the restriction as an intrusion on PARENTS rather than as a protection of minors - the reverse of how ban proponents frame the same policy | support = restriction | produces markedly lower support for bans than youth-medical items framed around protecting children
tilts_affirming — casting a minor-care ban as a law that 'prevents parents from allowing' care activates parental-authority intuitions that cut against the restriction; the same policy polls far better when framed as protecting children from irreversible decisions, so this number is not comparable to standard youth-medical ban items
