Republicans, Democrats continue to differ sharply on voting access
Six-in-ten Americans say any U.S. voter should have the option to vote early or absentee without having to document a reason.
47% of Americans favor banning groups from collecting completed ballots to return to official voting centers, while 50% oppose this. The public is also divided over removing people from voter registration lists if they have not voted recently or confirmed their registration, with slightly more opposing this (55%) than supporting it (44%).
Views are split by political party, but support for legal abortion has risen modestly in both groups since before the 2022 Dobbs decision.
Abortion has long been a contentious issue in the United States, and it is one that sharply divides Americans along partisan, ideological and religious lines.
