8. I just saw a poll of Catholics

Jul 2013

ages 18-40 who support abortion 58% to 34%. http://www.pollingreport.com/abortion.htm

In another poll on Roe v. Wade, people ages 18-29 support it 68% to 27%. http://www.pewforum.org/Abortion/roe-v-wade-at-40.aspx

So I am not sure what other polls are out there saying young people are against it. Do you have a link?
