A growing share of voters in swing states say abortion is central to their decision this fall .

For women younger than 45 , abortion has overtaken the economy as the single most important issue to their vote.

By a wide margin, more say they trust Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump to handle abortion.

Trump has repeatedly changed his position on the issue, despite appointing Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade .

Constitutional amendments seeking to guarantee abortion rights are on the ballot in 10 states this fall .

Last year , many voters who said they wanted abortion to be “mostly legal” said that they intended to vote for Trump .
