27% : A series of polls have shown more voters prefer Harris on the issue over Trump, helping drive a gender gap that is defining the race.
23% : While the polls found that a slight majority of these voters trust Trump to handle the issue of abortion rights more than Harris, most of them also do not rank the issue as a top priority.
22% : In battleground states, 1 in 5 voters wrongly blame President Joe Biden for ending the constitutional right to an abortion, even though Trump was the one who appointed the three Supreme Court justices who helped overturn Roe.Trump himself has struggled to settle on a clear position, equivocating before embracing the stance that the issue should be left to the states -- a message quickly adapted by Republicans in key races -- when he talks about the issue at all.
