Gallup Poll Shows Record High 78% Republicans Pro-Life Amid Growing Democratic Abortion Support

Recent polling reveals a majority of Wisconsinites support access to abortion, with 45% identified as base supporters who personally support abortion rights and 34% as soft supporters opposing government restrictions despite personal opposition. Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin enjoys broad favorability, with 69% viewing it positively, though it faces potential Medicaid funding cuts under President Donald Trump's budget proposals and opposition from Wisconsin Republicans enforcing strict abortion bans. Nationally, Gallup data shows increased polarization on abortion, with 83% of Democrats now identifying as pro-abortion while a record 78% of Republicans identify as pro-life, reflecting a widening partisan and gender gap. Women are significantly more likely than men to identify as pro-choice and consider abortion morally acceptable, contributing to a national support rate of 51% for legal abortion in all or most cases. Despite some fluctuations, the pro-life identification has slightly increased nationally, with 43% identifying as pro-life in 2025, a two-point gain from the previous year. These trends indicate a complex and divided landscape on abortion attitudes, influenced by political affiliation, gender, and ongoing legislative efforts at the state and federal levels.
