A new Wall Street Journal-NORC poll finds that 68% of Americans want the Supreme Court to uphold Roe v. Wade, and 58% favor women having access to legal abortion for any reason — the highest it’s been since the question was first asked in 1977.

Meanwhile, a new Gallup poll finds that after a decade in which Americans’ identification as “pro-choice” varied narrowly between 45% and 50%, the percentage has jumped six points to 55% in the latest poll.

So just 55% identify as “pro-choice”, but 68% support retaining Roe.

Pollsters are asking the wrong question; any Dem campaign that is guided by voters’ identity will likely be a losing one.

a majority of SCOTUS wanted them. THEY are the true rulers of this country and some of them are insane. It's very frustrating.
