Half of all voters are motivated to vote in the midterm elections because of the Supreme Court decision overturning the nationwide right to abortion, according to a survey on Wednesday that finds the issue is an even bigger catalyst than after the opinion was leaked and issued.
The share of voters being spurred to the polls by abortion access is up from 37% in a similar survey in May, after the opinion was leaked, and 43% in July, after the court’s conservative majority overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation survey of over 1,500 people.
