CNN Poll: About two-thirds of Americans disapprove of overturning Roe v. Wade, see negative effect for the nation ahead

CNN  

CNN — Nearly two-thirds of Americans disapprove of the US Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, according to a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS. Younger women are far more apt than others to see the ruling as negatively affecting them or their family personally: 50% of women younger than 45 see a negative effect, compared with 34% among men in the same age group, 23% among women age 45 or older, and 16% among men 45 or older. Most Americans see a negative effect from the ruling on the country as a whole and on women in their own state. Broad majorities of both Democrats and independents see the ruling as having a negative effect on the nation, while Republicans are about evenly divided, with 41% saying overturning Roe will have a negative effect on the country, 45% saying it will have a positive effect and 13% no effect at all.
