Judging by the recent comments by O'Reilly and Parshall about the flash poll after Bush's terrible speech, I expect the wingnuts to misrepresent the polling numbers on abortion, so here are a two recent polls, just to set the record straight.
Pew Research Center for the People & the Press survey conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International. June 8-12, 2005. N=1,464 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.
"In 1973 the Roe versus Wade decision established a woman's constitutional right to an abortion, at least in the first three months of pregnancy. Would you like to see the Supreme Court completely overturn its Roe versus Wade decision, or not?"
6/8-12/05 YES 30% NO 63% UNSURE 7%
1/03 YES 31% NO 62% UNSURE 7%

NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll conducted by the polling organizations of Peter Hart (D) and Bill McInturff (R). May 12-16, 2005. N=1,005 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.1.
"Which of the following best represents your views about abortion? The choice on abortion should be left up to the woman and her doctor. Abortion should be legal only in cases in which pregnancy results from rape or incest or when the life of the woman is at risk. OR, Abortion should be illegal in all circumstances."
Woman and Doctor 55%
Rape, Incest, Life of Woman 29%
Always Illegal 14%
Unsure 2%
