Verification note. Percentages are the 'Total 2025' trend column printed beside the 2026 readings in the ASFS 2026 crosstabs, and are corroborated by the release narrative ('at the high school level, opposition dropped from 65-35% in 2025 to 59-41% in 2026, and at the college or professional level, from 65-35% in 2025 to 58-42% in 2026'). The 2025 wave's own release was not retrieved, so its field dates, sample size and margin of error are unknown - the field date is recorded at year precision only and must not be read as January.
