A recent Marist poll took a nuanced look at Americans’ views of abortion. The poll is interesting because it digs further into people’s stances than most polls do.

I’m a few months late to this poll—which was conducted from December 12 through 16 of last year—but better late than never. There are a few reasons that this particular poll is worth discussing. First, it was conducted by Marist College, which has an A grade from FiveThirtyEight (indicating low bias). Second, it asked about […]
