Only a quarter of evangelicals in the United States believe abortion should be illegal in all cases,

Very strict question, most honest people would allow abortion to save the life of the mother. This poll makes those people answer ‘pro-abortion’.

Yes, and thus one must examine the survey itself : Among other things.

47% of evangelicals self Identified as Pro-life, vs. 27% of Catholics and 33% of Mainline Prots. (p. 14)

In response to the question, "Which of the following best describes your legal view on abortion," 25% of evangelicals said Illegal in all cases, vs. 16% of Catholics and 18% of Mainline Prots.

27% of of evangelicals said it was legal in most cases, vs. 38% of Catholics and 28% of Mainline Prots. (p. 25)

In response to the question "When do you consider a fetus, a child not yet born, to be a living being," 42% of evangelicals said Time of conception, vs. 31% of Catholics and 34% of Mainline Prots. (p. 54)

In response to the question "At what age should contraceptives be made available to women," 39% of evangelicals said Whatever age the woman decides, vs. 59% of Catholics and 44% of Mainline Prots. (p. 138)

The responses to multiple questions under "Considering what America is facing, how significant of an issue are each of the following" are on p. 105.

Remember, only 25% of all respondents said they were Pro-Life, and only 15% said they were Evangelicals. Looking deeper into the study...

-43% were Dems, or +17% vs Repubs and +16% for Independents
-of the Repubs, 47% are pro-life, vs 14% for Dems and 22% for Independents
- -44% almost never attend a religious service

In other words, it is likely that some "Evangelicals" are actually Democrats
