President Bush and other candidates benefited from their pro-life
positions on November 2nd. A post election poll by Wirthlin
Worldwide found that abortion affected the way 42% of
voters voted. 56% voted of those 42 % voted for President Bush. Only
36% voted for Senator John Kerry. This translates into a 9
percent advantage for President Bush (56% of 42% is 24%. 36% of
42%--15%. 24%-15%=9%) among those who say abortion affected
their vote. Eight percent
said that abortion was the most important issue of
18 issues presented. President Bush scored a 4 point
advantage (6%-2%). This was above the President's margin of
victory.
In other races the pro-life
position netted a 12 percent advantage. Of those 42
percent who said abortion affected their votes, 25 percent
voted pro-life while 13 percent voted for abortion.
National Right to Life reports that “of the nine new
members of the Senate, seven are pro-life" (a two
member pro-life gain).... and "of the 38 new
members in the House of Representatives, 20 are
pro-life.” The next time someone tells you that
the right to life position is an extremist position, tell
them to check the numbers and check to see which position is winning
elections.
