Abortion measures receive more support than Kamala Harris in recent elections

In the recent elections, abortion measures received more support than Vice President Kamala Harris in every state where they were on the ballot. This trend occurred in both Republican and Democratic states, regardless of the outcome for Harris. Voters in seven states approved measures to protect or expand abortion rights, including Arizona, Colorado, and New York. In contrast, similar measures failed in Florida, South Dakota, and Nebraska, yet still outperformed Harris's vote totals in those states. The results indicate a disconnect between voter support for abortion rights and their presidential choices. Many voters prioritized issues like the economy over abortion, leading to a stronger performance for abortion measures compared to Harris.
