DETROIT — Ballot proposals that would alter Michigan's legislative term limits and enshrine new rights to abortion and access to voting in the Michigan Constitution are enjoying strong support among likely voters less than five weeks before Election Day, according to a new statewide poll.
Proposal 3, the high-profile ballot question that would establish a constitutional right to abortion, garnered 61% support among 600 likely general election voters surveyed Sept. 26-29 by the Glengariff Group for The Detroit News and WDIV-TV.
Support for the measure cut across gender, religious and partisan lines, with most male and female voters who identify as "lean Republicans" planning to vote yes. One-in-three voters who identify as "strong Republicans" also are in favor of the constitutional amendment, according to the poll.
