— with about 77% of Democrats calling it a “step backward” and 64% of Republicans seeing it as a “step forward.”
The poll was taken Friday and Saturday after the court struck down the 1973 landmark case upholding a woman’s right to have an abortion — a decision that brought tears of joy to anti-abortion advocates and anger and dismay to pro-choice groups. Among those who wanted Roe v. Wade upheld, 78% said they were “upset,” 72% described being “angry,” 62% said “scared,” 38% said “surprised,” 32% said they were “motivated” and 10% were “hopeful.”
