The most important voting bloc is still undecided

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : Social security and Medicare are huge issues that not enough people are talking about right now, particularly Democrats, said Celinda Lake, founder and president of Lake Research Partners and one of the partners on this poll, at a roundtable.
46% : Margie Omero, principal at GBAO and another polling partner, noted at the roundtable that the issue of abortion was becoming more important.
44% : ""Abortion 'has given Democrats a second look' from GOP-leaning women," by Elena Schneider for POLITICO: "White women without college degrees turned away from Democrats in recent years.
41% : Abortion is also a key part of the effort to persuade blue-collar women to switch sides, particularly in states where their Republican counterparts advocate a 'no exceptions' approach to abortion access.""66 clinics across 15 states have stopped offering abortions post-Roe," by Megan Messerly for POLITICO ...
39% :"Democrats are counting on those 'silent' women voters to join them in Michigan and other battleground states across the country, where abortion has scrambled the calculus on how they may vote this fall.
38% :Thirty-nine percent of Republican women, 37 percent of independent women and 45 percent of Democratic women ranked Social Security and Medicare as one of the top issues for them heading into November, too.
38% : "But even if abortion is personally distasteful to them, they're also not comfortable outlawing it with 'no exceptions' for rape or incest -- a position held by Republican gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon and the rest of the Michigan GOP statewide ticket.
35% : She said that women here -- a culturally conservative piece of metro Detroit she's represented for more than two decades -- don't like to call themselves 'pro-choice' because that label doesn't capture the deeply personal and complicated views on abortion, especially in a post-Roe world.
24% : Abortion: Democrats in this group were also far more likely to say abortion is a top issue for them than Republicans.
20% : "People all talk about younger people thinking Social Security won't be there; it's the 50-to-64 year olds who are completely freaked that Social Security might not be sufficiently there when they retire."
