PPP also polled the abortion issue

* WBEZ…
As states around the country adopt stricter restrictions on abortion with the overturning of Roe v. Wade, more than half of Illinois voters say abortion should remain legal here, according to a new WBEZ/Chicago Sun-Times Poll.
About 52% of likely voters polled said abortion should be legal in most or all cases, with 36% saying it should be illegal, and 12% unsure.
As with other stories on this PPP poll, the piece was light on actual numbers. For instance, this really doesn’t say much at all….
Respondents who live in the collar counties or downstate were more likely than Chicagoans to say abortion should be mostly or completely illegal. Opponents of legalized abortion in the poll also have less education than those who support abortion.
OK, fine, but what are the numbers?
* The only graph…
