Exactly 50% of US voters now say that the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade has made them more motivated to vote this year, up 7 percentage points from July, when the same question was asked just a few weeks after the ruling.
After the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization removed the federal right to abortion, some states moved to make local laws more restrictive. Voters in states with full abortion bans were more likely to say that those laws were making them more motivated to vote than in prior elections, according to the KFF survey.
Abortion is on the ballot next month in at least four states, including California, where voters will be asked whether the right to an abortion should be enshrined in the state constitution, and Kentucky, where legislators have proposed an amendment to the state constitution that would prohibit state protection of the right to an abortion.
