A record high of 69% of American adults are dissatisfied with abortion laws according to a Gallup poll, while only 26% are satisfied. Of the 69% who are dissatisfied, 46% want less strict laws compared to 15% who want more strict laws.
Half of the women surveyed are dissatisfied with U.S. abortion laws and want less strict laws, an 18-percentage point increase over the past year. Meanwhile, 41% of men were dissatisfied and favored less strict laws, a 13-percentage point increase, over the past year.
The poll was conducted from Jan. 2 through Jan. 22, 2023 and is a reflection of how the public has responded to the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision in June 2022.
President Joe Biden won’t let Republicans forget about their heckling – and apparent commitment not to touch Medicare or Social Security – during his State of the Union address this week.
