‘I Don’t Know’ Ranks Higher Than Abortion In Poll Asking What’s Important To Voters In 2022
The recent overturning of landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade may have inspired dozens of protests, angry op-eds, and heated cable news debates — but a new poll released Tuesday suggests that one of the Democrats’ pet issues won’t even move the needle for voters come November.
According to the most recent Monmouth University poll, only 5% of those interviewed said that abortion was an important issue to them ahead of the midterm elections. Economic issues drove most of the responses from the 978 adults polled between June 23 and June 27, and some 6% said they didn’t know which issue was most important.
RealClearPolitics Executive Editor and co-founder Tom Bevan shared some of the data, tweeting, “More from Monmouth: biggest concern facing families right now: inflation + gas + economy + bills/groceries = 63%. Next highest: ‘Don’t know’ @ 6%, ‘Other’ and Abortion tied @ 5%, All the rest <3%.”
