Are Voters Thinking About Abortion With the Midterms in the Rearview Mirror?

Abortion was a present and, according to voters, as we saw in the polls, salient issue in 2022. How are voters thinking about abortion with the midterms now in the rearview mirror? 69% of Americans say they want abortion's legality to be decided by ballot measure or referendum rather than by state legislators. If that were to happen, 54%, say they'd vote in favor of abortion's legality at the state level; only 27% would vote against it.
