A new Gallup poll has found that a majority of Americans — 55% — now identify as “pro-choice” in the abortion rights debate, the highest level in 27 years. Gallup found in 1995 that 56% of Americans considered themselves pro-choice — supporting the right to have an abortion. AdvertisementThere was no significant change among Republicans, independents, men or older Americans, Gallup found. A Wall Street Journal poll found that more than two-thirds of Americans want to uphold Roe v. Wade, and most favor access to legal abortion for any reason. An NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll released in mid-May found that 64% of Americans opposed overturning Roe v. Wade (compared with 58% in the Gallup poll).
