White women without college degrees turned away from Democrats in recent years. Abortion politics could reel some of them back in.
Democrats have struggled for years to appeal to white women without college degrees. Abortion "has given Democrats a second look" with them.
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. The campaigns in Michigan show Democrats are not just leaning on abortion policy to juice turnout amongst the party’s base, especially the large portion of it composed of college-educated women.
Even some Republicans in the state privately acknowledge that they need “to do some soul-searching” to “get in line with the people” on abortion policy, said one Michigan Republican consultant, who was granted anonymity to discuss the issue candidly. Even so, “[Dobbs] has given Democrats a second look” with them, said Neil Newhouse, a Republican pollster who works on elections across the country.
Richard Czuba, an independent pollster in the state who regularly conducts statewide polls for local news outlets, said that based on his data, once “abortion is the focus in a race,” statewide or in the legislature, “those non-college women move away from the Republican coalition, which is a huge loss to them.”
Dixon is citing a statewide ballot initiative that would enshrine abortion rights in the Michigan state constitution — one of a few measures that will appear on November ballots this fall following success for abortion-rights supporters in a Kansas ballot measure in August.
