When asked if the Supreme Court should overturn Roe v. Wade, 51% said no while 31% said yes. More from Yahoo News:
The survey of 1,577 U.S. adults, which was conducted from May 3 to May 6, found that registered voters initially preferred a generic Democrat (44%) over a generic Republican (39%) by 5 percentage points when asked how they would vote in their district if the congressional election were being held today.
But when voters were asked to choose instead between a “pro-choice Democrat” and a “pro-life Republican,” GOP support fell to 31% while Democratic support held steady — more than doubling the gap between the two candidates, to 13 percentage points.
By the same token, 69% of Americans say they would “oppose Congress passing a law that bans abortion nationwide.”
The April Yahoo News/YouGov poll showed 54% of Americans believe that abortion is “a constitutional right that women in all states should have some access to.” More polling results:
