Sources

Verification note. Field dates, sample composition, weighting and national/party percentages read from PRRI's 2025 AVA report page. IMPORTANT: the report publishes state-level estimates only for nondiscrimination protections, religious service refusals and same-sex marriage - it does NOT publish state-by-state estimates for the two transgender items, so the state-estimate portion of this assignment is unfilled for 2025. The bathroom item's 2025 wording was not quoted verbatim on the page.

Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.

General acceptanceagree/disagreein a trend series
whether transgender people deserve the same rights and protections as other Americans

Agree/disagree stem not published on the report page.

transgender people deserve the same rights and protections as other Americans

Agree
71%

Wording notes: abstract equality framing rather than a specific policy | agree/disagree format subject to acquiescence bias | consistently produces much higher support than any concrete trans policy item in the same survey

tilts_affirming — a generalised rights-and-protections statement is the easiest possible affirming item to agree with; the 15-point gap between this item (71% agree) and the same survey's bathroom item is itself the finding

Bathrooms & facilitiesparaphrased4-point scalein a trend series
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: Wording carried forward from PRRI's confirmed 2019 American Values Atlas battery text; the 2025 report page described the item without quoting it, so the 2025 wording is UNCONFIRMED and may differ.

Favor (net)
56%

Wording notes: favor = restriction | same trend item as the 2017-2023 AVA series

neutral — restriction described in its own terms with both poles of the contrast named
