American public support for legal abortion has increased substantially since the release of the Dobbs decision, according to a new Wall Street Journal poll.
The poll found that 60% of respondents thought abortion should be legal in all cases—up from 55% in March—and only 6% said it should be illegal in all cases—down from 11%.
Among self-identified Catholics, support for legal abortion rose from 45% to 59% over the same period.
The poll found that the abortion issue will be a key factor motivating voters in this year’s November election.
