McCain And Independents
Even considering the source, abortion may be a problem in winning over the center:
The NARAL survey found that when pro-choice women are told that McCain
believes the Roe v. Wade decision should be overturned, their support
for him drops substantially. Among pro-choice independent women, who
are already more inclined to back Obama, information about the two
candidates' abortion positions improves Obama's edge from 53-35 to
66-26, for a net gain of 22 percentage points. Even pro-choice
Republican women shift their support after hearing about McCain's
opposition to Roe: 76% initially say they will vote for McCain in
November, but that number drops to 63%.
