A bright glimmer of sunlight is peeking through the clouds as we start a new week in our post-Roe reality.
📊 Two polls released in the past 24 hours give Democrats hope the issue will move voters.
A CBS News/YouGov poll of 1,591 adults found 50% of Democrats were more likely to vote based on the Roe ruling, while only 20% of Republicans said the same.
In an NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll out this morning (941 adults), 78% of Democrats said the court's decision makes them more likely to vote this fall — 24 points higher than Republicans.
Democrats have also regained the favor of voters to control Congress, with 48% saying they are more likely to vote for a Democratic candidate in the fall and 41% more likely to vote for a Republican. In April, Republicans led on that question in the poll 47% to 44%, which was within the margin of error.
HOWEVER, this good news for Dems is still negatively affected by recent gerrymandering as well as pocketbook issues affecting Americans, especially inflation.
The TAKEAWAY? WE CAN WIN IF WE DO THE WORK. We need to make sure that the 50% of Dems who are "more likely to vote" based on the Roe ruling actually follow through. Thats's what GOTV work is mainly about - getting likely Dems to cast ballots!
Sign up today for one of the many ways you can help get out the vote with IndiMarin.
IF we organize, and IF we do the work, we WILL win.
AND SOME GOOD NEWS FROM THE BATTLEFRONT....
IndiMarin added over 100+ members at Reproductive Freedom rallies this weekend!
IndiMarin volunteers gathered with like-minded peeps to connect and take action - writing, texting and phoning voters in key states and districts - at our Action Sunday event in Marin.
Participation in our remote actions for our many volunteers that live in other parts of the country surged as well, including our zoom phonebanks and online postcarding requests!
This is it. The fight of our lives. Thank you for standing up, showing up, and doing the work!
