October 2, 2020: Most registered voters (56%) don't know what would happen if the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade ruling. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that total includes 30% who mistakenly believe that abortion would be outlawed in the United States and 26% who are simply not sure.[1]

Forty-four percent (44%) recognize that overturning Roe v. Wade would allow every state to establish its own laws governing abortion.[1]

Misunderstanding on the issue is found all across the political spectrum. It is found among 57% of independent voters, 56% of Democrats, and 54% of Republicans.[1]

One of the great challenges in 21st-century politics is recognizing that terms used in the political dialogue often are not perceived in the same way by voters.[1]
