Abortion Attitudes in a Post-Roe World: Findings From the 50-State 2022 American Values Atlas

One in four Americans (25%) say they will only vote for a candidate who shares their views on abortion, compared with a slim majority of Americans (52%) who say a candidate’s position on abortion is just one of many important factors and 20% who do not see abortion as a major issue when voting. There were not significant changes in these numbers throughout the year, though the question was not included on the March wave. The proportion of Americans who say a candidate must share their views has increased from 18% in 2012 and 20% in 2020. The proportion who do not see abortion as a major issue went down, from 33% in 2012 to 26% in 2020 and 20% in 2022.

Among Americans who say that abortion should be legal in most or all cases, 26% say they will only vote for candidates who share their views on abortion. Notably, among this group, Democrats (34%) are nearly three times as likely as Republicans (12%) and significantly more likely than independents (21%) to say that they will only vote for candidates who share their views on abortion. Republicans in this group have remained steady compared to 2020 (12%), but Democrats have doubled in this opinion (17% in 2020). Independents in this group have become nine percentage points more likely to say they will only vote for a candidate who shares their abortion views (21% vs. 12% in 2020).
