Women were disappointed with the decision 10% more of the time compared with men who were unhappy with it coming in at 62% and 52%, respectively.

Seventy percent of those of identified as Republican or leaning Republican were happy with the opinion. Just 17% of Democrats agreed with overturning Roe v. Wade.

Younger adults were much more likely to disapprove of the decision than the older generation.

Among minority groups, Asian [72% dissapprove] and black [67% dissaprove] showed the highest percentages of unfavorable views.
