Abortion Seen as Top White House Issue by 40 Percent of Americans

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The issue of abortion is seen as a
top issue in the 2008 presidential election by 40 percent of
Americans, indicating the contentious subject still plays a prominent
role in how people case their ballot for president. Previous polls
have shown that the pro-life position gives presidential candidates an
edge.
The new figure comes from a survey the Pew Research Center for the
People & the Press conducted.
It found that abortion is important for 38 percent of Democrats and 43
percent of Republicans and with Republicans tending to be more pro-
life than Democrats that translates into an advantage for pro-life
candidates.
Other political issues such as terrorism and immigration scored higher
on the Pew survey in terms of whether a voter considered it an
important issue. For GOP voters, environmental issues ranked lower
than abortion in terms of importance.
The Pew poll also found that, among Republican voters, those who are
more likely to say that abortion is a key topic in determining their
vote are less likely to support pro-abortion ex-New York mayor Rudy
Giuliani.
Republican voters have previously turned away pro-abortion candidates
from capturing the primary nod, including former California Gov. Pete
Wilson and Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter. Republicans haven't had a
pro-abortion nominee since Gerald Ford in 1976.
Polls have also shown that abortion is a winning issue for GOP
presidential candidates.
Post-election polling after the 2004 presidential elections found that
President Bush's pro-life stance gave him an edge over pro-abortion
Sen. John Kerry.
A 2004 Wirthlin Worldwide post-election poll found that 42 percent of
voters said abortion affected the way they voted for president. Twenty-
four percent of voters cast their ballots for President Bush while 15%
voted for Kerry, giving Bush a 9 percent advantage on the issue of
abortion.
Eight percent of voters in the Wirthlin poll indicated abortion was
the "most important" issue affecting their votes and Bush won among
those voters by a six to two percent margin, leading Kerry by four
percentage points among the most intense abortion voters.
Pew conducted its new survey from May 30-June 3 and interviewed 1,503
adults

Abortion Seen as Top White House Issue by 40 Percent of Americans
Cool. And since the vast majority of Americans support abortion rights,
that's good news for Dems.

I see that Strumpet is back.
Lifenews (the Blob Squad) forgot to mention that 40% of Americans put
abortion in their top ten issues. Most didn't even think it was
worthy of listing. Only 1% made it THE top issue.

It's not that impressive. Abortion is listed 9th. And in "national
priority" polls, it's not even showing up lately. Not even in open ended
ones:

LieNews (et al) are in a panic and grasping at straws. Iraq is *swamping*
everything else. Even in the Pew polling, Iraq, the economy, and health
care are all in the 70+ percentile.

It is time that the electorate accept the right of women to control their
own bodies and not be 'forced' to have unwanted babies.
Up to the time of birth women must make their own decissions about their
fetuses. After the birth of child the mother becomes fully responsible for
caring for and supporting the child.

Ooo, scroll down to or search for "Bush Job Approval" on that page. I can
see why LieNews didn't want people going to the page.
White, evangelical, protestants are now 50-50 about Bush. His base is
bailing...

Bush is anti-abortion but it's been a long time since he saw a 40%
approval rating, so obviously your poll must be wrong.
