Wade, an enduring group of voters prioritizes abortion over all other issues. Eleven percent of the voters in six battleground states — Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and Michigan — said that abortion was the most important issue in deciding their vote, in the polls by The New York Times, Siena College and The Philadelphia Inquirer. It’s not a huge share, but it’s roughly the same size as the 12 percent of voters who said they cared most about immigration — and it shows that the issue of abortion is still activating voters in the battlegrounds that will probably decide the presidential election. Among women alone, the share of voters who prioritize abortion above all else rises to 17 percent. It’s edged out only slightly by the economy, which 19 percent of women chose as the most important issue. The polls show how, as abortion rights have eroded in this country, the issue has become a key motivator. And the surveys underscore the fact that Trump is out of step with most voters on abortion — although that hasn’t yet translated into as much of an electoral vulnerability for him as one might think. Sixty-four percent of voters in battleground states want abortion to be always or mostly legal, our polls found, a figure that is largely unchanged from a [similar poll we did last fall](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRoKlmvP4QDAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tL2ludGVyYWN0aXZlLzIwMjMvMTEvMDcvdXMvZWxlY3Rpb25zL3RpbWVzLXNpZW5hLWJhdHRsZWdyb3VuZHMtcmVnaXN0ZXJlZC12b3RlcnMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NiZlbWM9ZWRpdF9jbl8yMDI0MDUxNyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMjM3Mjcmbmw9b24tcG9saXRpY3MmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE2NzAxMCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZkWv1EdmJ7pfCVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD). Trump, who nominated three of the Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe, has said abortion rights should be left to the states — many of which have established strict abortion restrictions in the wake of Roe’s fall. But he’s actually beating Biden among battleground voters who believe abortion should be mostly legal, 49 percent to 41 percent, suggesting those voters either don’t understand Trump’s abortion stance or don’t see it as a deal-breaker. Supporters of abortion rights view that as an area where Biden and other Democrats can improve their standing. “What we have is really more work to do in talking to those voters about the choice they face in this election,” said Jessica Mackler, the president of Emily’s List, a political action committee that works to elect women who support abortion rights and that is backing the re-election of Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. “When we do that,” she added, “we win.” Who are the abortion voters? Our pollsters asked voters an open-ended question about which issue was most important in determining their vote. The voters who chose abortion were whiter and more educated than voters overall, and more likely to be women.

Twenty percent of Democrats described abortion as their most important issue, compared with 9 percent of independents and just 4 percent of Republicans. (It is possible that some of the respondents who said “abortion” were opposed to abortion rights, rather than supportive of them.) Democratic women were more than twice as likely to prioritize the issue of abortion than the economy, our polling editor, Ruth Igielnik, told me. Twenty-six percent of Democratic women said abortion was the most important issue, while 11 percent of Democratic women chose the economy. Those figures were practically flipped for Republican women. Seven percent of them chose abortion, while 29 percent picked the economy. Pamela Norman, 76, a Democrat and retiree from Arizona, said the issue resonated deeply for women of her generation. “Let me be blunt. I’m Black. So I saw it coming 10 years ago,” Norman said, lamenting that her generation saw abortion rights protected, while her daughters’ generation has seen them rolled back.

And 44 percent of Trump’s own supporters believe abortion should be either mostly or always legal — which means that, for them, Trump’s stance on abortion and his impact on Roe is simply not a deal-breaker. That was the case for Ryan Stewart, 38, an unaffiliated voter from Doylestown, Pa., who said he was leaning toward supporting Trump. A libertarian, he believes abortion should always be legal, and he doesn’t think Trump agrees with him — but he sees economic issues as more important to him. “It’s not really an issue at hand for me,” he said, referring to abortion. The issue does give some Trump supporters pause, however. Chloe Langley, 18, considers herself a Republican. She believes Biden is too old to serve another term and thinks she’ll vote for Trump in the fall. But her one reservation is on the issue of abortion.

They believe the issue of abortion rights will drive voters away from candidates who don’t agree with them — as long as those voters understand the candidates’ positions. “When you ask voters, ‘Will you vote for a Republican who holds these views?’ more often than not they’re going to say absolutely not,” said Mackler, the Emily’s List president.

Justice Alito told The New York Times that his wife had put up the flag in response to “objectionable” signs displayed by their neighbors. It’s a red flag of sorts that raises urgent questions about Justice Alito’s impartiality as the court was weighing whether or not to hear a case related to the 2020 election.
