Voters in swing states want federal abortion law: Poll Washington Examiner
Voters in swing states for the 2024 election do not want to leave abortion policy up to the states, according to a new poll from the University of Maryland, as abortion is set to be a pivotal consideration in the first presidential race since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.
Significant majorities, regardless of party identification, in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin said they preferred some sort of federal law codifying abortion rights, an issue that has sharply divided Republicans and Democrats in the lead-up to November.
Former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), have made states’ rights on the issue of abortion the new standard of the Republican Party, following the move to delete long-standing anti-abortion language from the GOP platform this summer.
