48% : During the cycle, Everytown deployed messaging that focused on health and public safety -- tying gun safety to abortion in one ad, for instance, while other campaigns ran those as independent messages.
44% : While gun policy may not have been the top issue this cycle, compared to the economy and abortion, it was up there.
43% : Among voters who voted against Republicans, banning abortion came in as the most important reason for doing so, according to a post-election memo from the Human Rights Campaign.
42% : The poll also found that inflation (52 percent) and abortion (29 percent) ranked first and second for issues that motivated voters this year.
