The poll, conducted in September for Politico by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, surveyed a nationally representative sample of 1,492 likely voters on a number of healthcare topics.
Here are three survey findings on abortion.
1. Sixty-seven percent of women are likely to say abortion policies are extremely or very important to their presidential vote choice compared to 46 percent of men.
2. The survey found 70 percent of Hillary Clinton voters and 48 percent of Donald Trump voters favor continued federal funding of Planned Parenthood. Twenty-six percent of Clinton voters and 47 percent of Trump voters favor ending all federal funding for Planned Parenthood although federal dollars do not fund abortions. Overall, 58 percent of likely voters favor continued federal funding of Planned Parenthood, while 37 percent favor ending all federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
3. Only 36 percent of likely voters favor allowing Medicaid funding to be used for abortion services, while a majority (58% percent) oppose. Clinton voters are slightly in favor (57 percent support, 36 percent oppose), while Trump voters are decidedly against (19 percent support, 77 percent oppose).
