Partisan gap on abortion 'larger than ever:' Analysis

The divide between Democrats and Republicans on abortion is at its starkest point in years, according to a new survey on the issue that’s poised to play a big role in the 2024 presidential race. 

There’s a 50-point gap between the two major parties, a figure that is “larger than ever," according to research from the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI).

Over eight in 10 Democrats think abortion should be legal in most or all cases — while just around a third of Republicans say the same.
