it's trending well
"Pro-Choice" Americans at Record-Low 41%
Half of Americans, 51%, consider abortion morally wrong and 38% say it is morally acceptable
this could be BIG trouble
The percentage of political independents identifying as pro-choice is 10 points lower today than in May 2011, while the percentage pro-life is up by six points. As a result, pro-lifers now outnumber pro-choicers among this important swing political group for only the second time since 2001, with the first occurring in 2009.
More broadly, since 2009, independents have been fairly closely divided between the two abortion positions, whereas for most of the 2001-2008 period, significantly more independents were pro-choice than pro-life.
