More voters say abortion will be a major factor in how they cast their ballot this year as compared with any election year since 1992, according to a new Gallup poll.
The demonstrators are in Chicago.
27% of registered voters would only vote for a candidate who shares their views on abortion, the highest share recorded since polling began in 1992 and up from 26% in 2020.
Only 16% said abortion is not a major issue that would affect their vote, which is down from 25% who said the same in 2020.
A majority of people think a candidate's position on abortion is just one of many important factors.
After a draft opinion from the Supreme Court was published, a poll was conducted among Americans.
34% of respondents who identified as pro-choice said a candidate must share their views, compared to 26% who called themselves pro-life.
Women were more likely than men to say that a candidate must back their abortion views.
People who attend church every week are more likely to prioritize abortion rights as a political issue than people who support abortion rights. 34% of regular churchgoers said a candidate must share their abortion views, compared to 26% who go nearly weekly or monthly and 27% who never go to church. 8% of weekly churchgoers think abortion isn't a big issue.
The fate of abortion rights will be decided by the Supreme Court in the next few weeks. Chief Justice John Roberts said that a majority of justices still wanted to overturn it, despite the fact that the draft opinion was not final. The Guttmacher Institute projects that 26 states will eventually ban abortion if the court overturns the law.
According to a recent Gallup poll, the Supreme Court's abortion ruling may affect voters' minds in the upcoming elections. A recent Morning Consult poll found that 49% of voters and 60% of abortion rights supporters were more likely to vote if a candidate supported abortion rights. It remains to be seen if abortion will be enough of a motivating factor to get Democrats to cast ballots and close the gap, as a recent poll indicated Republicans were more enthusiastic about heading to the polls. In states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, where Democratic governors have been able to block abortion restrictions, there are a number of races that will be important for the future of abortion policies.
