US EditionMost US Adults Still Support Legal Abortion 3 Years After Roe Was Overturned, an AP-NORC Poll Finds
UNITED STATES, JUL 24 – An AP-NORC poll shows 64% of U.S. adults support legal abortion in most or all cases, reflecting stable majority opinion three years after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
- A July 10-14, 2024 AP-NORC poll of 1,437 U.S. adults found that roughly two-thirds believe abortion should be permitted in either all or the majority of cases nationwide.
- This follow-up poll captures public opinion three years after the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in mid-2022 that ended federal abortion protections and enabled individual states to implement restrictions.
- Currently, twelve states fully ban abortion at all pregnancy stages while four enforce bans after about six weeks, often before pregnancy recognition.
- About 7 in 10 adults favor protecting abortion access for patients with miscarriages or related emergencies, and just over half back protecting access across state lines.
- Although support for legal abortion has decreased slightly among both Democrats and Republicans since June 2024, a large majority of Democrats—close to 90%—and about 40% of Republicans continue to believe abortion should be permitted in most situations, highlighting a persistent partisan divide.
