As the first post-Roe presidential election approaches, female voters in battleground states like Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania are weighing a variety of issues beyond just abortion.
While abortion remains a critical topic, economic concerns are also top of mind, with nearly half of women reporting they are worse off or no better than they were four years ago. Democrats have seen success in mobilizing voters on abortion rights, even in traditionally conservative areas, but the overall female vote remains divided.
The outcome of the election could hinge on how these issues resonate with independent female voters.
