NARAL: Pro-Choicers could swing election to Obama

By GottaLaff

Via Taegan Goddard's Political Wire:

A new Greenberg Quinlan Rosner poll commissioned by NARAL finds that once "balanced information" about Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain's respective positions on abortion are introduced, Obama gains 6 points nationally, with his lead in battleground states expanding from a net 2 points (47% to 45%) to a net 13 points (53% to 40%).

Other key finding: "Despite the fact that the national focus seems to be on the economy, among pro-choice Independent women, pro-choice Republican women, and liberal to moderate Republican women, the issue of abortion produces a larger advantage for Democrats than the economy, the war in Iraq, or health care."

From what I keep hearing, wedge issues don't work any more. But that won't stop them from trying, and complacency isn't an option, as you can see here.
