The Alito 5 got what they wanted….
But a LOT of people are NOT happy and Republicans are taking a political hit for it in some places…..
A majority of Americans are opposed to the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade last year, according to a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll.
The poll, published Wednesday, found that 57 percent of respondents oppose the court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, while 40 percent said they support the court’s decision.
Americans’ opinions have shifted little since the court handed down its decision in June 2022. At the time, 56 percent of respondents in a similar poll said they opposed the court’s decision.
Responses in the recent poll varied across party lines, with 74 percent of registered Democratic respondents opposing the court’s decision to overturn the ruling, compared to 59 percent of registered Independent respondents and 27 percent of registered Republican respondents.
Opposition spanned both age and racial groups. Sixty-six percent of respondents aged 18 to 29 said they oppose the court’s decision to overturn Roe, while 53 percent of 30- to 44-year-old respondents, 55 percent of 45- to 59-year-old respondent and 56 percent of respondents 60 years or older agreed with the sentiment.
White and non-white Americans surveyed were nearly equally opposed to the ruling, with 59 percent of non-white respondents and 57 percent of white respondents saying they were opposed.
The poll comes nearly a year after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that established the right to abortion….
“White and non white Americans were nearly equally opposed to the ruling”
That’s funny. Republicans used to always claim African Americans were more socially conservative than their white liberal and centrist counterparts.
Doesn’t appear to be so.
NOPE!…..
