Poll shows Nebraska residents oppose abortion ban
LINCOLN, Neb. (WOWT) - A new poll shows Nebraska residents oppose legislation that would ban abortion entirely.
Impact Research, an institute focused on transportation and vehicle safety surveys, conducted a poll commissioned by the ACLU in early March.
The poll found that out of 500 respondents who were registered Nebraska voters, 55% opposed banning abortion in the state if Roe v. Wade was overturned. Another 40% of respondents were in favor of a ban.
According to the ACLU of Nebraska, strong opposition to a ban on abortion outpaced strong support by a 20-point margin.
Survey respondents also noted differences in how likely they would be to support candidates who vote for a ban on abortion.
The poll found 32% of respondents would be more likely to support a state legislator who votes for a total ban on abortion, while 46% of respondents would be less likely to support a candidate that votes for a total ban.
The Nebraska ACLU says Impact Research evenly surveyed registered voters across the state’s three congressional districts.
