With abortion playing an important role in voters’ decisions to turn out and who to vote for during the 2022 election, the KFF Health Tracking Poll examines how abortion may motivate voters in the upcoming 2024 election, the first presidential election since the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Three in ten voters say they will only vote for a candidate who shares their view on abortion and about half (53%) of voters saying a candidate’s stance on abortion will be just one of many factors they will be weighing. A smaller share (16%) say abortion will not be an important factor in their voting decision.
