Verification note. RESOLVED - was 'WORDING ONLY'. Same technique as the August 2023 record: the Highcharts configuration embedded in the served HTML of the set page carries the Total distribution and every published crosstab, together with the 2.83-point graphic margin of error. Methodology - YouGov interviewed 1,627 Texas registered voters between August 22 and September 1, 2025, matched down to 1,200; 2.83 points unweighted and 3.25 points weighted - was read from the Texas Politics Project polling data archive, which also supplies the topline and crosstab PDF URLs now recorded. DATE CORRECTION: the original row carried 2025-08-01 for both field dates; the true window is 2025-08-22 to 2025-09-01 and therefore runs into September, so this record will not key-match the old row and a human should reconcile the two.

neutral — an importance scale rather than an endorsement item; the scale is symmetric and 'birth gender' is the proposed bill's own framing
