Women Care Deeply About Abortion in the Midterms, Poll Finds. Men, Not So Much.
"Half of women between the ages of 18 and 29 say abortion will matter to them in the midterms—but less than a quarter of men say the same, according to a new VICE News/YouGov poll commissioned by VICE News.
Forty-six percent of all women said that when thinking about the next election, abortion was an “important issue” for them, according to the poll conducted in mid-October, four months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. But just 30 percent of all men said the same.
Although men and women differed on the importance of several issues, including guns and inflation, no other issue opened up such a wide gap.
Historically, abortion tends to be an afterthought for most voters. But at least 13 states have banned abortion since the Supreme Court’s decision, although legal battles over those bans can make abortion access complicated. The midterms will be key to determining just how many states will be added to that tally. In some states, like Michigan and Kentucky, voters are being asked to decide directly on the constitutional status of abortion rights, while in others, Democrats need to hold onto their seats or gain some if they want to fend off further abortion restrictions."
