Abortion Rights and Voter Priorities

Democrats are increasingly prioritizing abortion rights in elections since the Dobbs verdict, with a record-high percentage saying they will only vote for candidates who share their views on abortion. Pro-choice voters show more intensity on the issue compared to pro-life voters. Support for abortion rights remains high, and Americans are more accepting of the morality of abortion. The availability of the abortion pill, mifepristone, as a prescription drug is favored by a majority of adults. The shift towards support for abortion rights has mainly occurred within the Democratic Party.

Democrats are more likely than Republicans to consider abortion as a very important issue. President Biden's strongest supporters prioritize abortion as an important issue. Men are more concerned about the economy, while women are more focused on abortion. Black voters are less likely than white voters to view immigration as very important.
