50% say the Supreme Court's anti-abortion decision makes them more motivated to vote in November
The Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade is motivating voters—specifically Democratic and women voters—yet another poll confirms. Take this as one more piece of evidence that Democratic candidates absolutely should be focusing on abortion and other rights Republicans want to take away.
The survey in question is KFF’s tracking poll, which finds that 50% of voters say the court’s decision made them more motivated to vote in November’s midterm election. Among women aged 18 to 49, it’s 59%. Among Black voters, it’s 62%. And this is definitely not a case where Democrats and Republicans are both equally motivated for opposite reasons: 69% of Democrats said Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization made them more motivated to vote, while just 32% of Republicans said the same.
