- Population
- registered voters
- Sample size
- 685
- Sample frame
- probability RDD
- Mode
- telephone - live callers, hand dialing, landline and cell numbers drawn from the December 2021 Florida voter file; 27-station CATI facility; interviews 4:30-9:00 p.m. daily with up to two callbacks
- Margin of error
- +/- 3.74 percentage points for the total sample
- Weighting
- raked (SPSS v26) on partisan registration, age, race, sex, education, 2020 vote choice and geography; education targets from ACS 2019; partisan registration, sex, race and age targets from the December 2021 Florida voter file; state stratified into 11 strata with quotas; no design-effect adjustment
- Geography
- US: Florida
- Base notes
- the gender-identity instruction item was a split sample: half of respondents received an additional sentence about parents being able to sue school districts. PORL combined the halves for reporting 'due to lack of significant difference in responses'.
Sources
Verification note. Question wording taken verbatim from the crosstab label block of the release PDF; field dates, N, weighting, response rate and margin of error taken verbatim from the release's Methodology section. Totals (49% oppose / 40% support) and the Republican figure (54% support) are the only result figures PORL published in prose for this item; the crosstab appendix in the released PDF does not contain a table for this question (the tables printed cover the most-important-problem item, five approval items, the school-board amendment, one yes/no item and one approval item), so the support/oppose split by strength and the Democratic and NPA columns could not be retrieved.
Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.
Florida bill barring school-district encouragement of discussion of sexual orientation or gender identity in K-5
Another bill before the Florida Senate would prohibit school districts from encouraging discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in grades K-5, or in a way that is age or developmentally inappropriate.
Another bill before the Florida Senate would prohibit school districts from encouraging discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in grades K-5, or in a way that is age or developmentally inappropriate. (The bill would allow parents to sue school districts if they believe a procedure of practice to be in violation of its provisions.) Do you support or oppose the passage of this bill into law?
Wording notes: describes the bill in the legislature's own terms ('encouraging discussion', 'age or developmentally inappropriate') | split-sample manipulation adds the private right of action
neutral — the description tracks the statutory language of HB 1557/SB 1834 rather than either side's slogan, and the split sample was designed to test rather than to lead; the phrase 'age or developmentally inappropriate' does import the bill's own framing
