With each new election and primary around the country, it's becoming clear that abortion is going to be a dominate issue in this fall's midterm election. 

A new survey by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies, finds 81% of Californians say that it's an important issue for them in this election. 

The issue itself will be on the ballot here in the form of Proposition 1, which would amend the state constitution to enshrine the right to reproductive choice, specifically abortion and contraception. 

That IGS poll finds that prop 1 is favored by voters 71 to 18%. That's simply an astounding number. It's rare almost without precedent that we see that level of universal support for anything in California.
