YouGov/CBS News: Abortion Poll Results: The international polling firm YouGov, surveying for CBS News, released a new issue-oriented poll (9/21-23; 2,253 US registered voters; 1,192 female voters; online) and its purpose was to largely test the abortion issue along with some other subject areas more likely to attract Democratic voters.
Though the abortion issue was highlighted as the central theme of the current poll, and the reported partisan segmentations only included Democrats and Republicans thus omitting Independents, abortion as a voter turnout driver was still not at the top of the list. According to this latest YouGov finding, 59% of the respondents rated abortion as “very important” (the other two choices given the respondents were “somewhat important” or “not too/not important”), but this ranked seventh from the list of one dozen tested topics. Again, topping the grouping with an 82% “very important” rating was the economy, with inflation following posting a score of 76%. Crime was third with a “very important” rating of 67%. Also finishing ahead of abortion were voting & election issues (64%), immigration (62%), and gun policy (61%). The best news for Republicans on this poll: the enthusiasm gap still looks to favor them, which is also a key factor in winning lower turnout midterm elections. According to the YouGov/CBS data, Republicans have a five-point lead over Democrats among those saying they will “definitely” vote in the upcoming midterm election, 79-74%. Comments are closed.
