Public Opinion on Abortion Shifts After Supreme Court Ruling and One Year After Roe.

The Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization has significantly altered public opinion on abortion, with 61% of voters disapproving of the ruling. However, support for legal abortion remains at or near its highest point since the 1990s, and few Americans want to ban medication abortion. The Supreme Court's standing with the public is at a record low, and abortion motivated Democratic voters in 2022 and appears poised to do so again in the 2024 election. The issue is likely to be a big driver in the 2024 presidential election, with candidates from the GOP presidential nomination debating how to frame the issue.
