JUST IN: 60% of Americans say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, the most in ABC News/WaPo polls since 1995. More also say their state should make it easier, rather than harder, for women to have access to abortion.
Sixty percent of Americans say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, the most in ABC News/Washington Post polls since 1995. More also say their state should make it easier, rather than harder, for women to have access to abortion, with a plurality favoring no change in the status quo.
In terms of state-level action, 41% say laws on women’s access to abortion should be left as they are now. Thirty-two percent say access to abortion should be easier than it is now, for a total of 73% favoring either no change or fewer restrictions. Twenty-four percent say abortion access should be harder.
Through a political lens, substantial majorities of Democrats and independents support legal abortion, compared with 41% of Republicans. It’s 81% among liberals and 70% among moderates, vs. 38% among conservatives. Support for legal abortion in all cases ranges from 56% of liberal women to 11% of conservative men.
Among other groups, support for legal abortion peaks by age at 72% among 18- to 29-year-olds, and it’s 69% among all those younger than 40 compared with 55% among those 40 and older. States with more restrictive abortion laws have more Republican populations than other states; that’s part of the reason that people in these states are 13 points more likely than those in less-restrictive states to say it should be harder for women to have access to abortion. Still, relatively few take this position, 29% in more-restrictive states vs. 16% in those with less restrictions.
Support for legal abortion in all or most cases is up a slight 5 points since last measured in an ABC/Post poll in 2013. That’s led by a 14-point rise among adults younger than 40 and 12-point increases in three groups – those with no religious preference, Democrats and people who call themselves “somewhat” conservative.
