A new poll shows that nearly half of Americans are less likely to vote for a congressional candidate who supports abortion rights.
There will be anti-abortion demonstrators near Capitol Hill for the 49th annual March for Life.
45% of adults are less likely to vote for a congressional candidate who supports abortion rights, while 18% are more likely to vote for that candidate, and 33% said it made no difference.
22% of respondents said they were less likely to vote for a candidate who supports abortion rights, 42% said they were more likely, and 36% said it made no difference.
Democrats were less likely to vote for an anti-abortion candidate than they were for an anti-abortion Republican.
Republicans who supported pro-abortion-rights candidates were more likely to vote for them than Democrats who supported anti-abortion-rights candidates, with 15% of Republicans saying they were more likely to vote for a pro-abortion-rights candidate.
42% of men and 27% of women said it didn't make a difference if a candidate opposed abortion rights.
A total of 1,586 U.S. adults were surveyed.
It was 65%. The share of American adults who think abortion should be legal in all or most cases is 81% of Democrats and 38% of Republicans. 30% of all respondents said that abortion should be illegal in all or most cases, compared to 51% of Republicans and 9% of Democrats.
Two weeks ago, a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion stated that a woman's right to choose to have an abortion is protected by the Constitution. Democrats saw a surge in abortion-related advertising. According to polling firms, most Americans think that abortion should not be banned completely. Some GOP legislators are working with anti-abortion activists to advance a national abortion ban if the Supreme Court overturns Wade. Some anti-abortion legislators have warned that a national ban might run into constitutional problems, according to CBS News/YouGov polling. A bill that would have codified abortion protections nationally failed in the Senate on May 11 after Sen. Joe Manchin and all 50 Republicans opposed it. A bill needs 60 votes to pass in the Senate.
A majority of Americans think that Donald Trump should be allowed to return to social media, while a minority think his ban should remain in place. Musk said he would lift the ban on him after the board accepted his offer to buy the company. Even if the ban was removed, Trump would not return to the site he founded.
Americans want Congress to legalize abortion rights, according to a poll.
