This survey by the University of Maryland’s Program for Public Consultation (PPC) is the fifth in a series – the Swing Six Issue Surveys – being conducted in the run-up to the November election in six swing states and nationally on major policies. Unlike traditional polls, respondents in a public consultation survey go through an online “policymaking simulation” in which they are provided briefings and arguments for and against each policy. Content is reviewed by experts on different sides of the issues to ensure accuracy and balance.
LATEST SURVEY: ABORTION & BIRTH CONTROL
In Swing States, Majorities of Republicans and Democrats Oppose Criminalizing Abortion Before Fetal Viability
Favor Ensuring Access to Birth Control
While elected officials continue to fight over whether abortion should be a right or a crime, the public has a clear policy stance on the matter. A new survey in the six swing states finds that majorities of Republicans and Democrats oppose criminalizing abortion before fetal viability, in line with the principle under Roe v. Wade. Bipartisan majorities favor reducing unintended pregnancies and abortions through policies that would keep or increase access to birth control.
