Reflecting their dissatisfaction with the Joe Biden-Donald Trump matchup, nearly half of registered U.S. voters (49%) say that, if they had the ability to decide the major party candidates for the 2024 election, they would replace both Biden and Trump on the ballot.
A majority of Americans (63%) say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. This share has grown 4 percentage points since 2021 – the year prior to the 2022 Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.

7moThis is a super interesting statistic! “Americans are more likely than people in many other countries to say elected officials don’t care what people like them think” I feel like this plays a huge role in the greater conversation of how people weigh the impact of an election on their community/themselves.
