Poll Finds Wide Support from Young People for Reproductive Justice Policies
Report
In early 2024, URGE commissioned HIT Strategies to conduct a national poll of young adults aged 18-30 years old to understand young people’s domestic policy priorities, particularly where they stand on Reproductive Justice issues and civic engagement. Key policy findings include:
- Young Voters express high support for URGE’s policy agenda.
- A majority of young voters indicated support for each of the policy stances tested, highlighting an opportunity to mobilize around these issues.
- There is especially high agreement on support for affordable access to healthcare, with 86% of the audience supporting it, 71% of which strongly support it.
- Most young voters either support the right to abortion (59%) or believe the government shouldn’t interfere with the decision (30%), together making up 90% of the audience that does not want to see the right to abortion threatened. Only 10% believe abortion is wrong and should be illegal.
- 52% of young voters say they would feel more favorable towards their representative in Congress if they knew they supported ending discrimination against transgender people.
