Nearly one-third of Americans (32%) say they will only vote for a candidate who shares their views on abortion, compared with 46% who say a candidate’s position on abortion is just one of many important factors and 19% who do not see abortion as a major issue when voting. The proportion who say a candidate must share their views has increased considerably, from 20% in 2020. PRRI has asked this question since 2018, and the previous high mark was 25%, in 2019. The proportion who do not see abortion as a major issue is, likewise, at a low mark — in 2020, 26% said it was not a major issue, and the previous low mark was 22% (also in 2019).

In a substantial reversal, slightly more Americans who say abortion should be legal in most or all cases also say they will only vote for a candidate who shares their views (34%) than do those who say it should be illegal in most or all cases (31%). In 2020, 15% of those who supported abortion legality in most or all cases said they would only vote for a candidate who shares that view, compared with 29% among those who said abortion should be illegal in most or all cases. Additionally, those who know someone who has had an abortion (37%) are more likely than those who do not (29%) to say they will only vote for someone who shares their views on the issue.

The same trend is apparent by party affiliation, with Democrats becoming more activated on the issue. In the immediate aftermath of the Dobbs decision, 43% of Democrats say they will only vote for a candidate who shares their views on abortion, compared with 17% in the fall of 2020. Independents have become eleven percentage points more likely to say they will only vote for a candidate who shares their abortion views (25% vs. 14% in 2020), but Republicans have held steady (31% vs. 32% in 2020).
