Abortion Rights Advocates Win Big in Ohio. What Does That Mean

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : A CNN poll conducted by SSRS released Tuesday showed that Americans' discontent with the Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v. Wade remains as potent as it was a year ago, with a record-high share of the public saying that they're likely to take a candidate's position on abortion into consideration when voting.
49% : Since then, voters in Kentucky and Montana have also rejected anti-abortion measures in statewide votes (though abortion remains banned in Kentucky).
43% : In May 2022, immediately after the leaked draft of the Dobbs decision, 26% of Americans said they would only vote for a candidate who shared their views on abortion.
41% : Another 55% say they'd consider a candidate's position on abortion as one of many important factors, for a combined total of 84% who say they're likely to pay attention to candidate's position on abortion when voting.
38% : If it is approved, the amendment would trump Ohio's 2019 law that bans abortion after six weeks of pregnancy without exceptions for rape or incest.
34% : Just 16% say they don't see abortion as a major issue, a record low in CNN polling dating back to 1996.
