The Public Religion Research Institute surveyed 22,000 people across the country on abortion In the seven battleground states that are expected to define the presidential race—Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—a collective 64% of residents say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. Even red states are seeing growing support toward abortion rights; 57% of residents there say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. In fact, pollsters found only five states where supporters of abortion rights are in the minority: North Dakota, South Dakota, Arkansas, Idaho, and Utah.

But if they have for 160 years extreme politicians came up with every excuse a manageable imaginable to maintain this Draconian ban abandoned by 27 men before Arizona was even a state a time when America was at War over the right to own slaves a time before women could even vote. Today we are doing what 23 Governors and 55 legislators refused to do and I'm so proud to be the ones that got this job done. And now I'm proud to sign this bill and provide a moment never leave for Arizona and we still have work to do Arizona women are still governed by a band that leaves no exceptions for rape or incest nor does it account for complications during pregnancy? I can't stop thinking about my daughters and how they will have a future and as we continue to go into the future and protect and enshrine the constitutional right to abortion and reproductive freedom. That future Generations will not have to live under that the restrictions and the interference that we've had the experience. So this is just an incredible moment. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6974104/swing-states-overwhelmingly-back-abortion-rights-new-poll-finds/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6974104/swing-states-overwhelmingly-back-abortion-rights-new-poll-finds/"},"headline":"Swing States Overwhelmingly Back Abortion Rights, New Poll Finds","datePublished":"2024-05-02T18:41:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:50:28.477Z","description":"Pollsters found only five states where abortion supporters are in the minority.","url":"https://time.com/6974104/swing-states-overwhelmingly-back-abortion-rights-new-poll-finds/","keywords":["abortion"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdc539fd8376a6589/698a565e011682324c985bf4/GettyImages-2147817477.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Philip Elliott","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/philip-elliott/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdc539fd8376a6589/698a565e011682324c985bf4/GettyImages-2147817477.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"TOPSHOT-US-politics-Women-abortion","caption":"TOPSHOT-US-politics-Women-abortion","creditText":"Frederic J.
