Americans’ views on the overturning of Roe v. Wade have not changed significantly in the one year since the landmark Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, according to new data.

When asked if they supported or opposed the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe, which guaranteed abortion rights, 57% of respondents to the latest NPR/PBS/Marist national poll opposed the decision in June 2023, one percentage point up from when the precedent was struck down last year.

Breaking the data down by demographic categories and party affiliation, however, shows more diversity of thought than the total population figure.

Only 25% of Democrats support the Dobbs decision one year out, compared to an overwhelming 68% of Republicans. Republican men are more likely to support the decision to overturn Roe at 75%, compared to only 61% of Republican women.

Parents with children under the age of 18 were the second largest supporters of the Supreme Court decision to withdraw constitutional protections for abortions at 56%. Only 34% of those who supported Dobbs did not have minors in their household.

Gen Xers, or those born between 1965 and 1980, are the generation most likely to support the overturning of Roe at 42%. The Silent Generation, born before 1945, is the most divided on the issue with 36% supporting, 52% opposing, and 12% unsure of the decision.

61% of Gen Z and millennials and 58% of baby boomers oppose Dobbs, according to the NPR/PBS/Marist poll.

American attitudes on abortion have remained relatively constant since Dobbs was decided.

The percentage of Americans who believe abortion should be legal only in certain circumstances has decreased by 3% since Gallup started recording the question in 1975, with 51% of Americans supporting at least some restrictions on the procedure in 2023.
