Hugh Hewitt wonders, "What percentage of Bush's votes were pro-choice, I wonder? Thirty? Twenty? Ten?" Well, wonder no longer, Hugh. CNN's exit poll data contains some information on this. If we crunch the numbers, roughly 20.8 million, or 35% of Bush's voters in 2004 think abortion should be "Always Legal" or "Mostly Legal" (including your humble author). You lose twenty percent of those voters and we're quite possibly sitting here wondering who President Kerry is going to appoint.

Update Nov 11 10:53:34 PST 2004 Welcome, Instapundit readers! If you think this is interesting stuff, I've done a couple of more of these, on topics like gay marriage, terrorism, etc: Atheists for Bush and "Moral Values" was not Bush's top vote getter. The Excel spreadsheet I used to calculate is available, as well.
