Does the Roe ruling have a political silver lining for Democrats?

Seventy-two hours removed from the landmark overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court, there are signs that the judgment may have woken up the long-dormant Democratic base in advance of this year's midterm elections.
A new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll had two striking findings:
1) More than 3 in 4 Democrats (78%) said the court's decision made it more likely that they would vote in the fall. A slim majority of Republicans (54%) said the same.
2) Democrats now lead on the generic ballot question ("If the election were today, would you vote for the Democrat or the Republican for House" ) 48% to 41% over Republicans, a remarkable 10-point swing since an NPR poll in April.
And just in case you think those numbers are an outlier, a new CBS/YouGov poll conducted in the wake of the Roe ruling showed 6 in 10 Americans -- and 67% of women -- disapproving of the court's decision.
