Verification note. All four question wordings read verbatim from Rasmussen's own questions page, which is headed May 10, 2014; the article's methodology line says the survey was conducted May 11, 2014, so the field window is recorded as the range those two Rasmussen pages bound and the discrepancy is left visible rather than resolved. The only percentages outside the paywall are those for question 3 (46 favor / 34 oppose / 21 not sure). Question 4 is the reason this poll matters: it re-asks the same policy after inserting the opponents' restroom argument, and the article's own headline states the answer turns on it - but the paired numbers sit behind the subscription wall. This is the earliest in-scope poll located for this sweep.

New laws in California and Maryland ban discrimination based on gender identity when it comes to employment, housing and public accommodations. Do you favor or oppose such a law in your state?
Wording notes: names two specific states as precedent | localizes the policy to 'your state'
neutral — a plain description of the statute with symmetric favor/oppose; it functions as the control half of an embedded argument experiment
