In 2022, Democrats were initially optimistic that abortion would be the top priority for the group. In May, the Supreme Court put the first restrictions on abortions since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. And in June the white suburban women group was fired up about abortion rights because each state now decides questions of abortion rights.

There were more negative views toward the economy, crime, and the state of the country. And more voters are unhappy with President Biden’s leadership than in the August polling.

According to the WSJ survey, 54% of the group believes the U.S. is in a recession. And 74% think the economy is headed in the wrong direction.

Democratic pollster Molly Murphy confirmed that “It’s absolutely true that these women have shifted their gaze more on the economy than abortion.

These specific women voters “think we’re in a recession. A majority are feeling the financial strain in this economy,” she added.
