What’s Driven the Shift in Political Environment?

Aaron Zitner, polling director for the Wall Street Journal: “In a word: Abortion. Voters are still very pessimistic about the economy and inflation—even a bit more than in our prior survey, in March. But since then, abortion has emerged as an important issue in motivating the votes of many people, including women in political swing groups.”

“Women who are independents, for example, shifted 20 percentage points in the Democrats’ direction, and Hispanic women moved by 15 points.”
