More good poll news

Back in May, there were a series of national polls that showed for the first time in many years, a majority of Americans now consider themselves to be pro-Life.

Well, the good news continues, this time with an Ohio poll:

Columbus, OH (LifeNews.com) -- A new poll in Ohio shows a majority of the state's residents oppose abortion and say that abortion causes problems for women. Sponsored by Ohio Right to Life, the poll is a part of the new Ohio Cultural Index the group will maintain to show how Ohio residents view pro-life and governmental issues.

Wenzel Strategies conducted the statewide survey June 23-26, 2009 with 824 registered voters and it has a 3.4 percent margin of error.

A total of 60 percent of Ohio voters said they were opposed to abortion with 47.9 percent saying they strongly opposed abortion. Just 26.7 percent of those polled said they favor legal abortions.

The results were strong across the board regardless of party, location or socioeconomic status....

This is a particularly important result, because Ohio is often a key swing state in Presidential elections. In 2008, the Life issue took a back seat to the sagging economy in importance to voters, but these opinion trends may bode well for a hearty debate during the 2012 electoral cycle.
