The poll also finds that the highest share of single-issue women voters (22%) say abortion is their top issue.

Include my 81-year-old mother in that category.

That said, I still believe that abortion is a one-and-done issue.

The electoral impacts in the aftermath of overturning Roe is short-term. Once the red and blue states have acted on their ballot initiatives post-Roe, the issue will fade electorally unless the left can concoct ongoing reasons to relitigate the issue election after election. Worst case is a state passes a 15-week ban, then they push for a 16-week ban in the next election, then a 17-week ban in the next, and repeat after each election cycle.

Still, the immediate win is that we no longer speak about abortion as a "right." It is now up to each state to pass laws regulating it.

The marxists have an endless supply of election lawyers devoted to this exact task.
