Most Americans oppose 'fetal heartbeat' laws, closing of all clinics in a state, poll shows
WASHINGTON – Most Americans are dismayed by the intensifying efforts across the country to limit abortions, a new USA TODAY/Ipsos poll says, and the issue is energizing Democratic voters for the 2020 presidential election.
Which voters are energized?The limits on abortion have been driven in large part by Republican-controlled legislatures, but their success in passing laws is energizing Democratic voters. A 52% majority of Democrats say the renewed abortion debate makes them more likely to vote in the 2020 elections.In contrast, a 55% majority of Republicans say the debate will have no effect on their likelihood to vote.
Public's attitude more nuanced than politicians'The public's attitude toward abortion is more complicated and shaded than the black-and-white divide in the political world. "Despite the strong emotions that abortion elicits, we find that most Americans are not absolutists on the issue, understanding its many nuances," says Cliff Young, president of Ipsos Public Affairs."Indeed, over the last few decades, the primary sticking point has not been abortion yes or no – but under what conditions is abortion acceptable. Our poll puts a spotlight on this underlying historic trend.
