61% disapprove of Supreme Court reversal of Roe v. Wade: poll

Democrats will never forget what Republicans have done by appointing SC justices who were determined to reverse RvW, who lied during their hearings that they would respect Stare Decisis and they didn't the first opportunity they were presented with ( and don't give me any crap they didn't, they certainly gave us that impression).

We will make sure the electorate is reminded of it in 2024.

Sixty-one percent of Americans in a new poll released on Thursday said they disapprove of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, ahead of the one-year anniversary of the ruling on Saturday.

A little over half — 53 percent — said they strongly disapprove of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision that found that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion, the poll from NBC News found.

Of the 36 percent who said they approve of the ruling, 27 percent said they do so strongly. Just 9 percent said they somewhat approve of the Dobbs decision and 8 percent said they somewhat disapprove, according to the poll.

Americans’ views on the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade break down sharply along party lines, with 92 percent of Democrats saying they disapprove of the ruling and 65 percent of Republicans saying that they approve.

A majority of Independents opposed the decision, although not to the same extent as Democrats. Sixty percent said they disapprove of the Dobbs ruling, while 37 percent said they approve, according to the poll.

 

90% of single American males couldn't care less what women do with their unborn children. The other 10% think they own any women they manage to impregnate.

 

You base this on what?

 

Just a feeling I have. Seems logical to me.

 

What people think has nothing to do with the Constitution.

 

Yet it is women in charge of most major anti abortion groups.

 

Ahh, so you pulled it out of your ass.

Wonderful.

 

Your problem is the 51% of the population who are women…

 

GOP - ‘Shooting Yourself in the Foot - 101’

 

An even higher number of people are for at the very least more common sense gun restrictions. Republicans often find themselves on the wrong side of general public opinion. This in large part is offset by all the woke behavior of the democrats, which often puts them on the wrong side of public opinion. American politics is often one big Sheit show.

 

The problem is that somehow the 27% managed to get a 6:3 majority on the Supreme Court (or, let's be generous, 5:4, since Roberts is not an extremist, like the other GOP-nominated ones). How is that possible? It's the Electoral College and Senate advantage that the 27% have, which gives them a outsized voting power. For example, the Dems need 40 million more votes just to achieve parity in the Senate.

 

Since the OP thinks a poll trumps a Supreme Court decision, why not get rid of the Supreme Court and just have cases decided by polling?

 

Exactly! And how do we fix that without resorting to the ancient Chinese tradition of killing female infants so they have more males to work the fields?

 

How a Year Without Roe Shifted American Views on Abortion

For decades, Americans had settled around an uneasy truce on abortion. Even if most people weren’t happy with the status quo, public opinion about the legality and morality of abortion remained relatively static. But the Supreme Court’s decision last summer overturning Roe v. Wade set off a seismic change, in one swoop striking down a federal right to abortion that had existed for 50 years, long enough that women of reproductive age had never lived in a world without it. As the decision triggered state bans and animated voters in the midterms, it shook complacency and forced many people to reconsider their positions.

In the year since, polling shows that what had been considered stable ground has begun to shift: For the first time, a majority of Americans say abortion is “morally acceptable.” Most now believe abortion laws are too strict. They are significantly more likely to identify, in the language of polls, as “pro-choice” over “pro-life,” for the first time in two decades.

And more voters than ever say they will vote only for a candidate who shares their views on abortion, with a twist: While Republicans and those identifying as “pro-life” have historically been most likely to see abortion as a litmus test, now they are less motivated by it, while Democrats and those identifying as “pro-choice” are far more so.

Repubs finally caught the proverbial car they had been chasing for decades in 2022. They paid a price in the midterms which is only going to get higher according to this new polling.

 

And exactly what would a 'common sense gun restriction' look like?

 

It would look unconstitutional of course.

 

Huh?

You may want to double-check your math, or at least show your work. I am not sure how you arrived at that number, but there is no way that is correct. I realize that each Senate race has different seats up for grabs which makes each election different in that regard, but in any case, 40 million would not be accurate.

Didn't Republicans get more votes in 2022 and still lose the Senate?

 

50 percent of American males couldn't tell you what a woman is.

 

You are thinking about the House.

In 2021, the Senate was at 50:50 seats, it needed Kamala's tiebreaker. Yet, the 50 Dems represented 185 million voters, whereas the 50 Republicans represented 143 million voters. So, the GOP had a 42 million vote advantage, essentially, it is easy for the GOP to achieve minority rule in the Senate. It wasn't always that way, but with people coalescing in highly populated states and urban centers that tend to vote Dem, it was inevitable.

You said "For example, the Dems need 40 million more votes just to achieve parity in the Senate."

That says votes. Now you are saying voters ( I presume your numbers actually refer to population). I am still not entirely sure what the link is trying to imply/ convey, but that is most certainly not an example of Democrats needing 40 million more votes to win the Senate.

I guess they are complaining that Democrats win the more populous states ...who cares? Are they trying to imply that people in California should impact who wins Senate races in other states? I find that to be silly. I am not sure where they are going with that.

Republicans got more votes than Democrats and still did not win the Senate. That definitely did not require that Democrats get 40 million more votes than Republicans.
