Four days ago, NBC News released the findings of a brand new poll, and here’s the lede:
Latest NBC News poll finds protecting democracy and abortion are top of mind for single-issue voters.
Right off the bat, we’re reminded that a significant number of voters still don’t understand the American political system—suprise, surprise—but more relevantly for this blog, we learn that according to the current attitudes, abortion is a “single-issue” sticking point for a number of voters. From journalist Bridget Bowman on the findings:
The poll also finds that the highest share of single-issue women voters (22%) say abortion is their top issue.
According to Bowman, the poll has an “overall margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points” which means that number could range from 18.9% up to 25.1%. Now, coincidentally (but not really), “22%” is almost the exact same number of women who will procure an abortion in their lifetime—and, according to data gathered by researchers at the Guttmacher Institute (abortion industry’s research apparatus):
‘Despite recent declines in abortion, it is still a common procedure, and nearly one in four U.S. women will have an abortion in her lifetime,’ says Rachel Jones, lead author of the analysis.
So, I’d suspect that poll is pretty accurate, and here’s why: regardless of opinion, or how someone feels about something, reality is what it is. (This is summed up by the “facts don’t care about your feelings” quip.)

Abortion is a seriously psychologically-traumatic event, despite the pro-abortion movement’s insistence that it’s not; therefore it’s completely logical that women—a majority of whom are governed by their emotional faculties—in a post-abortive state, would do everything they can to justify their choice to end the life of their own unborn baby.
Of course. Can’t have irresponsible sex without killing babies.
I guess this reflects the alarming lack of intelligence in these Dem voters.
Abortion has been determined to be a states rights issue and will not be on the ballot next year.
Moral depravity…
One of the few polls these days that I can actually believe.
Yup, typical leftists. It’s always about them.
I loath such people
Death Cult EXTREMISTS.
The left will put it on the state ballot to just coincide with the 2024 election. It draws out voters that might not normally vote. Those voters will then vote democrat.
Good argument for repealing the 19th Amendment.
That seems low. I would bet over 35% without regard to party. They are completely irrational on this issue.
Double bingo
Not surprising. “Kill the baby” has been the Democrat party’s Prime Directive since about 1970.
Surprised it is so low.
The 19th Amendment has become a plague on the U.S.
“Comes time to abortion”?
No polling or strategy matters unless the vote fraud is done away with.
