Republicans seem to be on the wrong side of this policy…..
Americans’ discontent with the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade remains as potent as it was a year ago, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, with a record-high share of the public saying that they’re likely to take a candidate’s position on abortion into consideration when voting.
A 64% majority of US adults say they disapprove of last year’s Supreme Court ruling that women do not have a constitutional right to an abortion, with half strongly disapproving – an assessment that’s almost entirely unchanged from CNN’s poll last July in the immediate wake of the decision.
More than half of women and Americans younger than 45 living in states with abortion bans call their state’s laws too restrictive, as do more than 80% of Democratic-aligned residents in those states.
And among those who opposed the Dobbs decision, majorities of those living in states where abortion is banned (76%) or limited (78%) say that politicians in their state are not doing enough to ensure abortion access, a view shared by a smaller 48% of those living in states where abortion is currently legal….
Most polls ,this one included,never ask a follow up question by listing like ten issues and asking the respondents to rank the importance of the issue as to their vote.
For example,it would be interesting to discover from this 64% where the abortion issue ranks on a list of issues like inflation, Ukraine,taxes etc.Is it number 1 or 2 or 9 or 10 as influencing their vote.
Over the years when this type question has been asked the results usually have shown that those opposed to abortion rank it as one of their top voting issues while pro choice people tend to rank it lower as to what issues decide their vote.
Accordingly , I am cautious in interpreting these numbers as being indicative as to how it will effect the election.
Actually?
The poll along with others consistently rank the economy as the MOST IMPORTANT issue fir voters….
But Abortion Is a STRONG issue for women of both parties and does bring out single issue voters……
Republicans ARE scared of the issue and most, no about ALL swing or Biden districts or states Avoid the topic…….
There will be NO National Ban…. Tupperville with NOT succeed in changing Biden abortion policy for the military….
Alito is actually costing Republicans
Yes it’s an “issue”
That’s not the point.
So 64% oppose the Court ruling,Right?
Yet in the presidential polls,Trump and Biden are neck and neck.
Quite obviously a significant number of these people,while opposing the abortion ruling ,are supporting Trump.
If abortion was their overriding issue,they wouldn’t be.Apparently, they regard it as a secondary issue.
So these polls showing fairly overwhelming numbers opposing the court opinion?
Such is simply not being reflected in the presidential polls .
As to the economy being the number one issue?When is it not?
I don’t agree……
Abortion seems to be a single issue voter subject for a good amount of voters
Since the mid term?
Any hints of abortion generate bigger numbers of votes in support…..
The facts ARE There
There’s nothing to “ Disagree” with.
I just analyzed the poll numbers.If I have made a mistake with the numbers?Show me where.
I disagree with a part of you view Jack….
That’s all……
Good news out of Ohio. Almost 60% rejected the GOP effort to raise threshold for passing statewide referendum from a simple majority to 60%.
Abortion rights will prevail in the November ballot initiative in Ohio and Republicans know it.
I think that’s the point. In Kansas and Ohio, attempts to restrict abortion have failed statewide popular votes. But while pro-lifers are overwhelmingly Republican (or GOP-leaning Ind.) that doesn’t mean that pro-choice voters are heavily Democratic.
Abortion is the major social issue for right-wing evangelicals (together, now, with homophobia), and those folks will vote Republican. But outside that constituency (and giving obligatory deference to the pr0-lifers) and outside the South, Republicans aren’t going to campaign on an issue where many of their potential supporters disagree. Of course, that won’t stop their pro-choice Democratic opponents yelling Dobbs! and A Woman’s Right to Choose! .
I second THAT DSD…..
Abortion IS a single issue that cuts across ALL….
The more Republican’s front it?
The more people come out and vote AGAINST OVERWHELMINGLY…
Like gun control?
It’s toxic…..
