GALLUP just did a survey a few months ago. See this link . I can't believe that there's a sudden change in attitude between May 2012 and August 2012. One of these two polls is inaccurate. So, who to believe, Gallup or Rasmussen?

EXCERPT

Americans now tilt "pro-life" by nine-point margin, 50% to 41%

The 41% of Americans who now identify themselves as "pro-choice" is down from 47% last July and is one percentage point below the previous record low in Gallup trends, recorded in May 2009. Fifty percent now call themselves "pro-life," one point shy of the record high, also from May 2009.

Gallup began asking Americans to define themselves as pro-choice or pro-life on abortion in 1995, and since then, identification with the labels has shifted from a wide lead for the pro-choice position in the mid-1990s, to a generally narrower lead for "pro-choice" -- from 1998 through 2008 -- to a close division between the two positions since 2009. However, in the last period, Gallup has found the pro-life position significantly ahead on two occasions, once in May 2009 and again today. It remains to be seen whether the pro-life spike found this month proves temporary, as it did in 2009, or is sustained for some period.

The decline in Americans' self-identification as "pro-choice" is seen across the three U.S. political groups.

Another indication we are on the road to predition.

Since the Gallup poll was probably adults and Rasmussen is likely voters, the only way to reconcile the two is that people who don’t vote are more pro-life than people who do.
