With Harris at the top of the ticket, Democrats now see a chance to refocus voters on the issue and restore their margins among the abortion rights voters who had notably drifted away from Biden.
In both the 2020 and 2022 campaigns, voters who backed legal abortion provided overwhelming support to Biden and other Democratic candidates.
Across all of those battleground states, Biden this year was performing well below that level with voters who support legal abortion, polls have found.
Those abortion rights voters also split about evenly on whether Biden or Trump was better for the economy.
“Many of them aren’t single issue abortion voters; they are worried about the economy and inflation, they are worried about immigration,” McLaughlin said.
