Questions asked (3)
LGBT nondiscrimination protections in jobs, public accommodations and housing (item explicitly names transgender people)
Q6. Do you favor or oppose each of the following? [RANDOMIZE STATEMENTS]
Laws that would protect gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people against discrimination in jobs, public accommodations, and housing.
Favor 36%
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
laws preventing parents from allowing a minor to receive gender-transition medical care
Q10. How much do you favor or oppose each of the following? [RANDOMIZE]:
Laws that prevent parents from allowing their child to receive medical care for a gender transition.
Favor 19%
Wording notes: frames the ban as constraining parents rather than minors or providers | does not name specific interventions (puberty blockers, hormones, surgery) | 'medical care for a gender transition' rather than 'gender-affirming care'
tilts_affirming — the parental-authority frame ('prevent parents from allowing') suppresses support for restriction relative to wordings that foreground the minor or the specific medical procedure; PRRI's readings run notably less restrictive than pollsters who ask about 'gender transition medical treatment for minors' directly
how much LGBTQ rights would drive a vote for major political office (LGBTQ-general item, not transgender-specific)
Q12. Thinking about how the following issues might affect your vote for major political offices, would you:
LGBTQ rights
Consider a candidate's position on this issue as just one of many important factors
39%
Only vote for a candidate who shares your views on this issue
30%
Not see this as a major issue
30%
Skipped/Refused
2%
Wording notes: names 'LGBTQ rights' as a bloc rather than any transgender-specific policy | does not distinguish salience for supporters from salience for opponents
unclear — the item measures intensity without direction, so a high 'only vote for a candidate who shares your views' share can be driven by either pro- or anti-LGBTQ respondents; PRRI does not publish a directional split on the face of the topline
