Wide Gaps Among GOP Primary Voters on Planned Parenthood, Compromise With Democrats Among possible Republican primary voters, Among % who would be more/less likely primary to support a candidate who wants to
There are big ideological divides among Republican voters. Among the issues that divide possible Republican primary voters is government funding of Planned Parenthood, an issue that caused a bitter fight over a government funding bill among House Republicans. About seven-in-ten conservative Republicans (69%) say they are more likely to support a candidate who wants to cut off federal support, compared with 28% of moderate and liberal party members. Other big divides between conservatives and moderates-liberals include whether to raise taxes on the wealthy, how much to compromise with Democrats, and whether to deport all unauthorized immigrants. (In our sample, 69% were conservatives and 31% were moderates and liberals, reflecting relative shares of the party.)
