Sources
Verification note. soonerpoll.com returns HTTP 403 to WebFetch; all four releases were retrieved with curl via Bash. Question wording, toplines and the methodology paragraph are printed verbatim in the releases. Subgroup figures are those stated in the release narrative - SoonerPoll published no crosstab tables, so some party/ideology cells are described only in prose ('nearly 86 percent', 'over 67 percent') and are recorded here at the stated value; no crosstab exists to check them against. Release dates differ by item (July 17, 18, 19 and 31, 2023) but all four report the same June 1-4, 2023 fielding.
Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.
Questions asked (7)
teachers helping students under 16 transition without parental consent
Do you SUPPORT or OPPOSE teachers guiding or helping their STUDENTS UNDER THE AGE OF 16 transition to the opposite sex without parental consent or knowledge?
Wording notes: uses 'transition to the opposite sex' | stacks 'without parental consent or knowledge' onto the transition item | capitalised emphasis in the stimulus
double_barreled — the item bundles two separable propositions - a minor socially or medically transitioning, and doing so without parental knowledge - so agreement cannot be attributed to either alone; 'opposite sex' framing and the capitalised 'STUDENTS UNDER THE AGE OF 16' add emphasis
Subgroup figures (13)
public drag performances where children under 12 may be present
Do you SUPPORT or OPPOSE the public display of DRAG SHOWS, a form of entertainment performed by drag artists with men dressed as women and vice versa, where CHILDREN under the age of 12 may be present at schools, libraries, or other public places?
Wording notes: defines drag inside the stimulus | conditions the item on children under 12 being present | capitalised emphasis on CHILDREN
tilts_restrictive — the child-presence condition and the capitalised emphasis foreground the most objectionable version of the practice before any opinion is offered, which is likely to depress measured support relative to a neutral item about drag performance
Subgroup figures (15)
teaching gender identity to children under 12
Do you SUPPORT or OPPOSE the teaching of gender identity to children under the age of 12?
Wording notes: 'teaching of gender identity' is undefined | age condition attached
unclear — the object of the question - what 'teaching of gender identity' consists of - is left entirely undefined, so respondents may be answering about very different things; the under-12 condition points respondents toward the most restrictive reading
Subgroup figures (9)
making castration illegal for healthy minors
Castration, which is the removal of the testicles from a biologically-born male, thereby permanently eliminating one's ability to father a child.
Wording notes: asked under the stem 'SUPPORT OR OPPOSE MAKING IT ILLEGAL' | 'physically healthy children or minors' framing | procedure described in graphic surgical terms | uses 'biologically-born male'
tilts_restrictive — the battery describes gender-affirming care exclusively as irreversible sterilising surgery on 'physically healthy' minors, a description that does not match the treatments actually at issue for most minors, and the release itself editorialises about the 'recently coined progressive term'
making vasectomy illegal for healthy minors
Vasectomy, a surgery conducted in biologically-born males to prevent them from fathering a child in the future.
Wording notes: asked under the stem 'SUPPORT OR OPPOSE MAKING IT ILLEGAL' | 'physically healthy children or minors' framing | uses 'biologically-born males'
tilts_restrictive — same battery framing as the castration item; vasectomy is not a gender-affirming procedure provided to minors, so the item measures reaction to a hypothetical rather than to any actual practice
making hysterectomy illegal for healthy minors
Hysterectomy, which is the removal of all or part of the uterus in biologically-born females, thereby permanently preventing one's ability to ever become pregnant.
Wording notes: asked under the stem 'SUPPORT OR OPPOSE MAKING IT ILLEGAL' | 'physically healthy children or minors' framing | uses 'biologically-born females'
tilts_restrictive — same battery framing; the description emphasises permanent loss of fertility in a 'physically healthy' minor
making mastectomy illegal for healthy minors
Mastectomy, which is the complete or partial removal of breast tissue from biologically-born females.
Wording notes: asked under the stem 'SUPPORT OR OPPOSE MAKING IT ILLEGAL' | 'physically healthy children or minors' framing | uses 'biologically-born females'
tilts_restrictive — same battery framing as the other three surgical items
