NBC\/WSJ poll<\/a><\/span>: Support for Roe v. Wade hits new high<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A majority of Republicans — 52 percent — say the Supreme Court decision should not be overturned.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nBy Carrie Dann<\/span><\/p>\n

\nAs President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick readies for his eventual confirmation hearing, support for the court’s landmark ruling in Roe v. Wade has hit an all-time high.<\/span><\/p>\n

A new poll from NBC News and the Wall Street Journal finds that 71 percent of American voters believe that the decision, which established a woman’s legal right to an abortion, should not be overturned. Just 23 percent say the ruling should be reversed.<\/p>\n

That’s the highest level of support for the decision — and the lowest share of voters who want Roe v. Wade overturned — in the poll’s history dating back to 2005. In 1989, according to Gallup’s survey, 58 percent said they believed it should stay in place while 31 percent disagreed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Those supporting the ruling include 88 percent of Democrats, 76 percent of independents and a majority — 52 percent — of Republicans. About four-in-ten Republicans — 39 percent — say that Roe v. Wade should be overturned.<\/span><\/p>\n
