 Democrats more likely to vote in midterms after abortion ruling: poll
by Olafimihan Oshin - 06/27/22 7:49 AM ET

More Democrats than Republicans questioned in a new survey say they are more likely to vote in the midterm elections after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on Friday.

The NPR/PBS NewsHour Marist poll, published on Monday, found that 78 percent of Democrats said they are more likely to vote in this year’s midterms in response to the ruling, which opened the door to state bans on abortion.

When asked the same question, 54 percent of Republican respondents said they are more likely to vote in November, while 53 percent of independents agreed. 

Eighty-eight percent of Democrats, meanwhile, said they strongly oppose the Supreme Court’s ruling on abortion, as did 53 percent of independents.

By comparison, 77 percent of Republican respondents said they support the ruling, while 10 percent opposed it.

Additionally, 59 percent of female respondents said in the poll that they disapprove of the court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, and 54 percent of male respondents agreed with the same sentiment.

The new NPR/PBS NewsHour Marist poll was conducted from June 24 to June 25 with a total of 941 respondents. The survey had a margin of error of 4.9 percentage points.

This is a warning bell that the GOP leadership had better take into account.
Turnout in November will be more important than ever in "competitive" districts...

Being pro life means being pro family, not just in words but in policy.

Enhanced child tax deductions, manufacturing / energy independence & tightening the labor market in favor of American workers by limiting immigration, our goal is single income families.

Near term bump is expected.  We'll see where things truly stand after Labor Day.

Exactly.  Just a snapshot in time.    Wait till they revisit their bankbook and CC statements this fall.

For what it's worth, a post-Dobbs Economist/YouGov survey gives the GOP a 5 point edge.  Underlying trends are the same --- the west is more competitive, elderly moving right, GOP lead with hispanics and middle income workers.

It's a LONG time until election day.  Dobbs will be a faded memory by then but inflation and the economy won't!
