Poll: Missouri voters support abortion rights ballot measure

A new poll shows that a majority of Missouri voters support a ballot initiative to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution, with 52% backing the measure. The poll also indicates strong support for other key ballot initiatives, including sports betting and raising the minimum wage. Despite overall conservative leanings, including strong support for Donald Trump and Republican candidates, the issue of abortion rights appears to have gained significant traction among voters, reflecting a broader trend observed in other states where similar measures are on the ballot this November. This shift aligns with findings from other states like Arizona and Nevada, where Republican voters have also shown unexpected support for abortion rights.
