60% of all voters say they’re pro-choice, and a ballot measure could shift turnout in Dems’ favor
WASHINGTON – Today, national grassroots organization Indivisible and progressive think tank and polling firm Data For Progress released the results of their survey of Arizona voters, assessing how a proposed ballot measure protecting reproductive rights in the state would impact how likely voters are to vote in an election year.
The survey comes as Ohio voters rejected an undemocratic effort to change the state’s constitution, designed to make passing abortion protections harder.
This year, Indivisible is running Battleground: Arizona — the first single-state effort of its kind for the national grassroots organization — dedicated to shifting the political climate and building long-term power in the state.
The poll found:
- Arizona voters are firmly pro-choice and support Roe v. Wade: 60% of Arizona voters (+23) consider themselves pro-choice rather than pro-life, including 58% of independents (+21). 58% of Arizona voters (+25) think the Supreme Court was wrong to overturn Roe v. Wade, including 56% of independents (+23).
- The presence of an abortion measure on the ballot shifts vote likelihood in Democrats’ favor: After learning of the measure, Democrats were slightly more likely to say they were going to vote (+2%) with no corresponding bump in interest among Republicans, who were less likely to say they were going to vote (-7%) — resulting in a cumulative 9% impact on vote likelihood in Democrats’ favor.
- For context: In 2020, Biden won Arizona with 49.4% to Trump’s 49.1%. In such a close swing state, any movement at the margins matters.
- The measure would energize key demographics: 35% of respondents who initially stated they were unlikely to vote (a group which skews younger and more Latino) said they were likely to vote after hearing about the measure.
- In the U.S. Senate race, Democrats (+62) and Independents (+13) said they were more likely to support a candidate who will eliminate the filibuster to codify Roe into federal law.
