An ABC/Washington Post poll puts support for legal abortion in all or most cases at 60% and support for legal abortion in all cases at 27%.
If this were the sole issue for the 2020 election it would be no contest.
Most people, there are some exceptions, are complex animals. They’re loyalties and concerns are split between social issues and economic issues.
If the election only rested upon fundamental social issues such as abortion access and LGBTQ rights, it would be no contest.
But the economic issues have to be dealt with as well.
At the moment the economy is good, very good. There are some rumblings and the deficit and the debt are way out of control (please don’t respond to that with Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) because my economics degree tells me that’s just the Laffer curve of the left) but unemployment is at 3.6%, the Dow is flirting with 27,000, the S&P 500 is flirting with 3,000 and the NASDAQ is over 8,000.
The rumblings, the deficit and the debt are just not on most people’s radar.
These are VERY good economic numbers. The economy is probably the battlefield upon which the 2020 election will be fought. Trump has already fired the first salvo by predicting a stock market crash if he loses the election.
