Is it possible that public opinion polls on abortion have been wrong for a long time?
It’s all in how the question is asked.
We haven’t had real polling for several decades now, at least not publicly available. Someone is always pushing an agenda, and that agenda is consistently liberal and now, globalist.
The left never had to defend abortion, since SCOTUS decided to take it out of the political arena with Roe. Now that it’s back as a political topic, they are actually going to have to make their case, and even with the media blockade, the pro-life argument is going to reach almost everyone, eventually.
They CAN’T defend things like partial-birth abortion, late-term abortions etc. because those things are indefensible. No one supports that stuff.
Politicians (and political parties) that make a principled stand for life will be rewarded in most jurisdictions in the US. California and the northeast states will be outliers, but most of the rest of the country will look a lot different, IMHO.
