Yes i had looked at the Gallup polling on pro-life vs. pro-choice at https://news.gallup.com/poll/244709/pro ... ables.aspx before i posted. it's an interesting thing to look at. The overall numbers are close for the four years but the "pro-choice" side is a little higher for 3 of the 4 years and the other year is a tie.Baldy wrote: ↑Wed May 04, 2022 9:44 amNot really.
According to Gallup, it's basically a toss-up between pro life and pro choice generally. However, only about 30% believe abortion should be legal under any circumstance. This decision will paint the Donks into a corner to the point that they will have to define when life begins and how to frame any law regarding abortion. I see lots of teeth gnashing and tap dancing ahead.
Google "polls should roe vs. wade be overturned?" It's clear that a more people say "no than yes." I'm looking at some hits that say stuff like "Poll: Half of voters support maintaining Roe v. Wade." But they're citing a poll where 50% said they oppose that while only 28% say they are for it.
The left is not the side that has painted itself into a corner on this one. Will it translate into changing the situation with respect to what's expected for the 2022 mid-terms? If I had to bet I'd bet that if it has any effect it won't be enough to keep the Democrats from losing control. But I would also bet that, if Republicans strategists were completely honest, they would say they'd rather this would not happen right now. This is a dog chasing car thing. Now it looks like the dog has caught the car.
