Poll Watch: Rasmussen (R) Survey on Abortion

Rasmussen (R) Survey on Abortion

Generally speaking, on the issue of abortion, do you consider yourself pro-choice or pro-life?
  • Pro-Choice 52% (51%) {53%} [49%] (50%)
  • Pro-Life 41% (40%) {39%} [41%] (40%)
National survey of 1,000 likely voters was conducted July 31 - August 1, 2012. The margin of error is +/- 3 percentage points. Results from the poll conducted April 16-17, 2012 are in parentheses.  Results from the poll conducted March 25-26, 2012 are in curly brackets.  Results from the poll conducted May 23-24, 2011 are in square brackets.  Results from the poll conducted February 14-15, 2011 are in parentheses.

Inside the numbers:
Perhaps not surprisingly, more women than men consider themselves pro-choice.

A majority of Republicans are pro-life. Majorities of Democrats and voters not affiliated with either party are pro-choice.

Voters under 40 years of age are more supportive than their elders of abortion rights.
