Abortion a top election issue for young Florida women
https://news.yahoo.com/abortion-top-election-issue-young-100032470.htmlNationwide election surveys of voters continue to be reported as showing the economy is a top issue for all voters without much analysis on key audiences and the intensity of abortion and equal rights.
This year, Ms. magazine took a deep dive into voter attitudes in key battleground states, including Florida and eight others combined.
A just released Ms. magazine and Feminist Majority Foundation poll by Lake Research Partners takes an in-depth look at battleground states most likely to determine which party holds power in Congress and as governors. True blue Democratic states of California, New York and Massachusetts along with true red Republican states were excluded.
Among women voters of all ages in these battleground states, abortion and women’s rights are tied with inflation and rising prices as their top voting issues.
This means that despite constant reports in the media on inflation and rising prices as the top issues in this election, abortion and women’s rights are actually the most important for young women as they head to the ballot box. The overturning of Roe v. Wade has lit a fire under women voters, and especially young women voters, who have the power to determine close elections. Historically in the last few elections, a larger percentage of undecided voters were women, a trend likely to continue this year. Additionally, the numbers and percentages of young people voting have been steadily rising.
As the races in Florida tighten, every vote matters.
