Seems like Roe vs Wade is Closer to 60/40, but regardless, that’s a pretty loaded question. What does overturn mean? Complete ban on abortion? Replace with something else?

When asked if pro-choice/pro-life, Americans are pretty evenly split.[1]

So as per the OP’s comment, which issues are so strongly supported that only party clearly supports them?

Gun control? No.

Welfare reform? No.

Higher spending? No.

I’m genuinely curious.

60% think gun laws should be more strict, 11% think they should be less strict.

Welfare reform and lower spending are not strictly Republican platforms. Reform isn’t a specific policy decision. Also, Republican administrations have seen some of the largest spending increases. Being a believer in small government, free markets, and zero debt I don’t have a clear party favorite.

EX: I firmly believe there should be zero subsides for any industry, as such rebates for installing solar is a bad idea. Flat carbon tax and let the market decide, if “clean” coal can win then it wins.
