Here is a collection of various polls: http://www.pollingreport.com/abortion.htm
None of them simply ask "Do you support abortion?", since that question is basically useless in an issue with so many factors. Also note how evenly split most of the poll results are. Most people are in the middle, voting for things like "legal in some cases", "mostly legal", or "mostly illegal".
This issue may very well be what causes his fall. For anyone to disagree, they need to research the topic.
Considering who won the last two presidential elections (largely on the backs of Evangalicals), I'd say a Republican using a pro-life platform is risking NOTHING.
because of it, several actors including 3 extreme righty's, and my own mother have jumped ship, saying that his views on it were a "no deal" for them.
