The extremist Supreme Court decision is unpopular.
Really striking findings in the new NYT poll:
— Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) September 16, 2022
52% of voters *strongly* oppose the Dobbs ruling. Only 19% strongly support it
57% of women *strongly* oppose the ruling
This upends some very big assumptions about abortion politics and the midterms.https://t.co/L4XmVgg66X
