October 7, 2020: Thirty percent (30%) of voters nationwide say Obamacare is the top issue before the Supreme Court at this time. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 17% named abortion as the top issue while 13% said 2nd Amendment issues. Additionally, 9% see issues surrounding the administrative state as most important while 8% say religious liberty.[1]

Seventeen percent (17%) say some other issue was tops and 6% are not sure.[1]

Abortion is viewed as most important by 20% of Republicans and 18% of Democrats. When viewing results by party, that's the only common ground. Among independent voters, 13% see abortion as the top issue before the court.[1]
