May 09, 2024 | By: Texas Politics Project

Jim Henson and Josh Blank take a deep dive into new UT/Texas Politics Project Poll data revealing nuances in Texans' views of abortion not captured in broad labels like "pro-life" and "pro-choice."

Listeners can also scroll through hundreds of graphics of topline and subgroup results on our latest poll page.
