NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll: Majorities oppose Supreme Court's abortion ruling and worry about other rights; Dems surge to seven-point lead on generic ballot
NPR ^ | 06/27/2022 | Domenico Montanaro

Posted on 06/27/2022 5:00:28 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Majorities of Americans say they disagree with the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, think it was politically motivated, are concerned the court will now reconsider rulings that protect other rights, and are more likely to vote for a candidate this fall who would restore the right to an abortion, according to the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll.

Still, a majority opposes expanding the number of justices who could sit on the Supreme Court.

In overturning Roe on Friday, the Supreme Court reversed 50 years of precedent that had made abortion a right in this country. The right to regulate abortion now is in states' hands, and about half the states have already moved to severely curtail access to an abortion or ban the procedure outright.

The issue is personal to most Americans. Two-thirds of people responding to the poll say they or someone they know has had an abortion. That was true of three-quarters of independents, 7-in-10 Democrats and 55% of Republicans.

Surveys have for years shown consistently that most Americans wanted to keep Roe in place and to see restrictions on when abortions could take place. What the court did is clearly outside the mainstream of public opinion, and that is reflected again in the NPR poll.

The survey of 941 respondents, conducted Friday after the decision through Saturday, has a margin of error of +/-4.9 percentage points.

A majority are against the decision

By a 56%-to-40% margin, respondents oppose the court's decision, including 45% who strongly oppose it.

Almost 9-in-10 Democrats and a slim majority of independents (53%) are against the decision. Three-quarters of Republicans, on the other hand, support it.

Percent of people polled who read the actual ruling?

Zero.

Haven’t had time to read the whole thing myself.

But the media is intentionally lying to the public about the real issue. This was NEVER about the popular opinion on abortion. It was about the Constitution and how laws are made.

It is odd that the left KNOWS that Roe v. Wade was bad case law, they KNOW it was inventing a right out of thin air. But the left only cares about achieving a desired outcome and not at all how it is achieved.

The left is lawless.

Instead of being “concerned” and reading the scare headline, you should track Marist’s previous polls.

Since 2017, they had ONE poll with the GOP in the lead. They are an EXTREME outlier.

Their last poll had the generic ballot at D+5, now they have it at D+7. They are out their alone on this.

Doomer fail.

This will motivate Republican voters to go to the polls just as much as Democrat.

The Democrats pulled out all of the stops for 2020. There’s nowhere to go from there but down.

NPR? You might as well have the the poll done by the CPUSA. You’d get the same result.

Total BS.

So, is this the narrative to give cover to “The Big Steal - Part II”?

Ummmmm….

I predict the Senate will go 50-50. Republicans capture the House but barely. We'll take a couple of heavily Hispanic districts in states like Florida and Texas.

The Democrats needed the Roe vs Wade decision. They will mobilize their base. And they'll appeal to Soccer Moms now. For the GOP, we won the Roe vs Wade decision. Great. Now what?

BS article attempting to rally their troops.

Look at the lack of major rioting this weekend. This tells me that the outrage and motivation are lacking around this issue. Those advocating for “Pro Choice” are, for the most part, reserved in their reaction to this ruling and while speaking their feelings, many seem to have realized their stance isn't the easiest thing to justify.

I think in a couple of months the economy is going to smother this into a non-issue come election time.

You are right! Roe was clearly a case of legislating from the bench. Make anyone who disagrees point to where trimesters are mentioned in the Constitution.

The Feds are not responsible for protecting life, only for protecting us from government. The states have always managed the handling of murder.

Glenn Youngkin was able to appeal to them in Northern Virginia and won their votes. They will vote Democratic this fall. We have to make it about the economy and Joe Biden's job performance. But the Democrats will make it about abortion 24/7. It's the only thing they have right now.

Obvious gaslighting. Inflation is rampant, recession has already started, no relief in sight.

The fact is the ruling doesn’t ban anything…. And if the SC takes up more issues and returns them back to the states , then I’m okay with it.

The bump will fade in a few weeks. Abortion (or the lack of it) doesn’t affect people’s daily lives but Bidenflation does.
