5% said abortion was their greatest concern. Extrapolating based on stats - that means AT MOST 10% of women (1/2 the population) thought it was huge. Roughly 20% of Democrat women (assume 50% are Dem/lean) said it was the worst.
6 times as many said INFLATION was their top concern. 12 times as many said a factor that would be "the economy" was their top concern.
Right now I think it could go either way. I don't think you realize just how very angry so many women are to have their status be reduced to that of second class citizens. On the other hand, as inflation gets steadily worse, many are wondering how they are going to keep putting healthy food on the table for their kiddoes for some indefinite amount of time.
The American people on both sides are pretty damn angry these days. Shall we say that the midterms are going to be pretty interesting this year?
The biggest "protests" I have seen about RvW have been by women in States where NOTHING changed, in fact in some of those states Abortion may actually be expanded.
However, women are being reduced to that of second-class citizens. They are being minimized by the Progressive "Trans" movements that are telling women they must accept having men use their same restrooms and locker rooms. Then tell them that they must accept men competing against women in women's sports. And if they don't accept this they are just transphobic.
Poll after poll has the Economy as the most important issue, and in just about every poll it isn't even close. The only way it could "go either way" is if Biden turns into a Conservative and reverses all of the damage they did in the next 3 months....which is NOT going to happen. It may take the next two years of a Conservative Congress to just get us back to even and even then may be a slim chance.

That’s the Democrat and media narrative, thanks for repeating it again, a second time on this thread. The actual data and polling show the exact opposite.
30 - 40 seats? Ptooey. We'll be lucky to get ten. Chuck that misery index and just about every other poll. We are into the undiscovered country of how polarized America votes. You can apply just about any amount of pain you can think of to democrat voters ... put them on the rack and stretch them, brand them, pull out their fingernails and teeth and burn them at the stake and they will still hold fast to their religion as if they were Joan of Arc dying a martyr for the greater glory of God. There is a frightening degree of irrationality deep in the psyches of half of America. They'll bleat and whine about all of the issues that make life difficult in '22 and then they will go back to the polls and vote Democrat ... presumably for the greater glory of their ideological religion.

No they don't. They show nincompoops going back and voting democrat all over again. And lest you think I'm a dem-symp guess again.
One could only hope. I just wonder how many GOP seats may be lost due to Roe vs Wade. Seems odd that they pushed that prior to midterm elections. It likely will cost them some existing seats or seats they would have won in close races.
Illogical. Abortion regulation is the purview of each state's legislature now. Congress can do nothing about it.

Americans who support abortion rights and are unhappy with the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade are actually less likely to vote in the November midterms, a new Washington Post/Schar School poll finds, going against previous polling and Democratic strategists’ hopes that the ruling would instead increase voter turnout on the left.

Nope. That's a pipe dream. Abortion is a losing issue for Democrats. The July 20th Quinnipiac poll shows that 34% of all voters ranked inflation as the most urgent issue facing the country today. Voters ranked gun violence second (12%). No other issue reached double digits.
Do you wonder why the Dems nationally aren't focusing their abortion importance at the state level?
I mean, that's where it is now. It's been returned to the States already.
The House of Representatives can reverse course and get more blue like 2018 and pass all the bills they wish, but they're going nowhere. It's basically impossible that either party will get to 60 in the Senate (and Sinema and Manchin aren't up for election).
So if abortion is THAT critical to Democrats/women, then they need to support state-level candidates that won't vote for extreme abortion laws.
that's a hard lesson to learn for abortionuts who have spent the past 49 years worshipping roe v wade.

If McConnell and McCarthy were competent, they would’ve had SCOTUS punt the Roe v Wade decision down the road until after the election
Man. That's second or third order nonsense. Congress-types have ZERO control over the SC's docket.
