Sources

Verification note. Question wording copied verbatim from the Rasmussen Reports public 'Questions' page. Percentages come from the free portion of the Rasmussen article; the full topline and crosstabs sit behind Rasmussen's Platinum paywall (/platinum/...), so items marked with empty results could not be retrieved. Wayback Machine was unavailable (Internet Archive offline) at time of access. Q1 percentages are from the article 'Are Schools Doing Too Much or Not Enough for Transgender Students?' (Aug 14, 2024). Q2 and Q3 percentages are paywalled.

Not do enough

About right

Not sure
