Plurality of American Voters Support Principles Behind Leaked SCOTUS Roe v. Wade Decision
(Austin, TX—May 19, 2022) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted May 6th through May 8th of over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.
“While the pro-abortionists and media meltdown about the leaked Roe v. Wade draft from Justice Alito,the plurality of Americans actually support the idea that Justice Alito concludes in his draft decision—the states should be deciding this issue,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action. “Just as we have seen with many other issues, Americans are tired of out-of-touch D.C. politicians and bureaucrats making sweeping decisions that impact the whole country, voters are ready for a return to federalism, and this is a stunning example of that.”
