Abortion is expected to be on the ballot in Arizona and Florida in November, but the issue is not shaping up to be the boost President Biden needs to win the two states, according to a new poll.
Voters in both states overwhelmingly support abortion access but are still favoring former President Donald Trump over Biden 52% to 47% in Arizona and 54% to 45% in Florida, per a CBS/YouGov survey.
Democrats have typically been able to pummel Republicans over the hot-button issue.
In Florida in April, the state’s supreme court upheld a six-week abortion ban that went into effect earlier this month and green-lit a referendum to enshrine abortion access into the state’s constitution.
Unlike other states that necessitated a majority threshold on their abortion referendums, Florida requires 60% of voters to approve it.
Despite once being the quintessential battleground state, Florida has lurched considerably red over recent years, and Republicans now tout a majority of registered voters there.
Still, the Biden-Harris campaign has opened up an office there, and both Biden as well as Vice President Kamala Harris have ventured down to Florida in a bid to keep it in the realm of possibility.
In the Sunshine State, 65% wanted abortion legal in all or most cases, compared to 35% who wanted it illegal in all or most cases, the poll shows.

Abortion is an issue for states to decide. Has nothing to do with Trump.
Cue the sad trombone.
People already know they can still get abortions even if they have to go to another state.
Never really was a winning issue except to the left who just loves to plop those butchery clinics in black areas of America. Margaret Sanger who saw blacks as inferior is a RAT hero.
Women don’t like being poor. Old women don’t like having their Medicare cut. This is why they dislike Joe and his horrible policies.
I remember a lovely black woman telling Barack Hussein Obama that she didn’t want to be back to only being able to afford pork and beans. Well guess what? Biden finally got her back to pork and beans.
No gives a rats behind about killing babies right now.
When the cupboard is empty and your stomach is growling love, sex, money and good looks go out the window and you want food!
The Florida office is just for show; it’s not tenable to be seen as surrendering it
And fundraising. You still have celebrities and liberal Jews living in Miami.
Oh boy!
Demented and inferior biden has to depend on support for baby-killing to get reelected!
The ignorant young females don’t know any better. Although the Rats aim to sterilize them, the females have been convinced their self-worth is a function of killing their offspring.
It’s the way of the Rat, not just Biden.
If not for the moral implications many of us would back a no ban policy, since almost all who seek abortions are inclined to be leftists. But abortion is just plain WRONG, that old moral standard.
And they're following Ohio and Kansas who've already legalized abortion in 2022. And we're talking about red states here.
