According to the All in Together poll, women are more likely to be fired up about voting than men are, with the share who are somewhat or much more interested in voting jumping from 26% to 42%.

Half of Democrats are more likely to vote because of the Supreme Court ruling, compared to 20% of Republicans, according to a CBS News/YouGov poll.

Sixty-six percent of voters are more likely to support a candidate who supports abortion rights than a candidate who wants the procedure to be illegal.

Key Background

A wave of state-level abortion bans was set off by the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the landmark abortion law. The Biden administration and other Democratic leaders mostly responded by calling for Americans to vote in November, but that drew a lot of ire on the left. Biden responded to the criticism of the White House by issuing an executive order to protect abortion access. As he signed the order, the president reiterated the importance of voting, even though he supports the abolition of the filibuster to pass an abortion rights bill.

What To Watch For

Abortion access will be affected by midterm races. Democrats need to retain their majority in the House and protect abortion rights in order to get rid of the filibuster, according to Biden. Gubernatorial races in states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania will determine whether Democratic governors can block abortion bans passed by the states' GOP-led legislature. Abortion rights will be put directly to voters in some states.
