Sources

Verification note. Toplines, wording and party crosstabs read from the Quinnipiac topline PDF (p.10) and narrative (pp.3-4). Quinnipiac published only Rep/Dem/Ind and Men/Women breaks for this item. This is Quinnipiac's first transgender question since June 2019 and its first ever on athletic participation.

Wording notes: asked inside an explicit Supreme Court framing block introduced in the narrative as 'pending decisions expected from the Supreme Court involving questions about birthright citizenship and transgender athletes' | uses 'transgender women and girls' rather than 'transgender athletes', naming only the contested direction of participation

tilts_restrictive — the one-directional 'transgender women and girls' stimulus and the absence of any competing consideration (fairness vs. inclusion) both push toward the restrictive response; the Supreme Court framing also cues a legal-controversy schema
