MeidasTouch News reports exit polling from Reproductive Freedom for All and Impact Research finding that abortion remained a top issue in the midterms: 53% of battleground voters said it influenced their vote, 54% called Republicans' position more extreme, and majorities support Congress strengthening protections, at 59% to 35%. Polling in Maine showed Troy Jackson beating Susan Collins by 10 points among voters who heard candidates' abortion positions. Mini Timmaraju says voters understand reproductive freedom is an affordability issue and that Congress has a mandate to act.
