The actual proportion of Republicans in our sample that wanted to outlaw abortion entirely was 15.7%
Democrats told us that they believe almost 60% of Republicans want
to outlaw abortion entirely.
Those with no political affiliation told us that they believe 51.8% of Republicans want to outlaw abortion entirely.
Republicans themselves told us that they believe about half (49.6%) of Republicans want to outlaw abortion entirely.
Not only are Democrats and politically non-affiliated people inaccurate about what most Republicans believe on this issue, but even Republicans are inaccurate about the preferred abortion policy of the other members of their party.
