We'll see Rick. I got plenty of time and can wait until November. But today, I personally think abortion is baked into the equation as all the avid pro-choicer’s are now democrats and the avid pro-lifers Republicans. They've had 50 years to move into their respective parties that agree on their abortion stances. Today, 20% of all Americans list the economy, inflation as the their number one issue on determining their vote this November. 6% list the abortion issue as their number one issue on determining their vote come the midterms. That's over 3 times as many people that will base their vote on inflation than abortion. Although we don't know how many of the 6% list abortion as their number one issue are pro-life and how many are pro-choice. What we do know is
But that can be broken down via party, Inflation as the number one issue in determining one’s vote, 10% Democratic, 24% Republican, 22% independent. Abortion as the number one issue in determining one’s vote for the midterms, 11% Democratic, 7% Republican, 6% independent. Since Gallup list party affiliation as being even as of April, no new party affiliation figures for May yet. The most important numbers here are independents, 22% voting on the economy, inflation vs. 6% voting on abortion. 43% of independents stating they’ll vote for the Republican congressional candidate vs. 34% for the Democratic congressional candidates. Which lines up to inflation being the number one, most important issue facing this country today.
These number as usual are dynamic and change constantly. You know I’ll be keeping a very close eye on all of this. Especially if the SCOTUS does overturn ROE. If the SCOTUS doesn’t, all of this is for nothing.
All the overturning of ROE does is leave abortion to the states. It doesn't ban abortion nationwide. Although some states may ban abortion within their state. The results remain to be seen.
