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. Q2 percentages are from the article 'Opposition to Transgender Agenda Remains High' (Sep 18, 2025). Q1 percentages are paywalled. Field dates were September 11 and 14-15, 2025, i.e. non-contiguous.
