There are six months left before the by-elections.
Many right-wing American politicians and observers have been happy all week to announce that five conservative members of the US Supreme Court appear ready to overturn a landmark decision that established the constitutional right to abortion.
< p> However, a new poll Yahoo News/YouGov has shown that Republicans risk losing American support in the run-up to the 2022 by-elections. The poll also showed that Democrats can win the congressional election.
A poll of 1,577 U.S. adults from May 3 to 6 found that registered voters initially preferred a Democrat (44%) Republican (39%) by 5 percent when asked how they would vote in their constituency if the election The congress took place today.
But when voters were asked to choose between an “Democrat who supports abortion” and a “Republican who opposes abortion” “, support for the Republican Party fell to 31%, while support for the Democrats remained unchanged – the gap between the two candidates has more than doubled, to 13 percent.
At the same time, 69% of Americans say they are “against Congress passing a law banning abortion across the country.” Only 22% of Americans say they would support such a law – while more than twice as many (48%) would support a law “that will keep abortions as legal and affordable across the country.”
After the media leaked information about the plans of the US Supreme Court to repeal the constitutional right to abortion, a wave of protests swept the country. Thousands of people took part in the demonstration. The US Supreme Court intends to repeal the constitutional right to abortion enshrined in a 1973 ruling. If the Conservative-majority Supreme Court does overturn this historic ruling, state-level bans or significant restrictions on abortion could be imposed. About half of the 50 US states plan to do so. The Supreme Court is expected to rule in June.
