These charts show the results of a recent Public Religion Research Institute Poll -- done between August 22nd and September 2nd of a national sample of 1,856 adults, with a margin of error of 2.7 points.It shows that Americans believe the Supreme Court did the right thing with their 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision by a 23 point margin (56% to 33%). That decision has been the law of this land for over four decades now, and the public does not want it to be overturned.
But they also believe the court doesn't care what the people want. They believe if Kavanaugh is confirmed to be a Supreme Court justice, the court will overturn Roe vs. Wade. That's the opinion of adults by a 23 point margin (48% to 25%). And all three political groups agree -- Republicans by a 2 point margin (34% to 32%), Independents by an 18 point margin (47% to 29%), and Democrats by a 47 point margin (64% to 17%).
