Wade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The ruling, which kicked abortion regulation back to the states, appears to be spurring turnout benefitting Democrats, as evidences in Kansas where voters on Aug. 2 rejected a proposed amendment from conservatives to remove support for abortion access from the state\u2019s constitution, and in an Aug. 23 New York special congressional election where pro-abortion voters turn out in force to defeat a favored Republican candidate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">First-term Democrat U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) is also seeing a post-Roe bump in her hotly contested race with Republican former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt in one of the nation\u2019s most-watched Senate races.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">According to a statewide Aug. 14-17 Suffolk University\/Reno Gazette Journal survey of 500 likely Nevada voters, Cortez Masto leads Laxalt by 7 percentage points, 45 percent to 38 percent, in current sentiment for the November race.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/11\/09\/AP16314281805235.jpg\"><\/a> Sen.

Ron DeSantis, leading by 3 percentage points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Suffolk University Political Research Center Director David Paleologos, in a statement accompanying the poll, said the incumbent Democrat appears to garnering \u201csizable\u201d gains in support \u201camong women and white voters\u201d in the wake of June\u2019s Roe repeal.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Read More<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/poll-identification-as-liberal-collapses-as-blacks-hispanics-and-non-college-voters-flee-the-label_4675118.html\">Poll: Identification as \u2018Liberal\u2019 Collapses as Blacks, Hispanics, and Non-College Voters Flee the Label<\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Among the women who<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A tossup U.S. Senate seat in Nevada, one of five where Republicans have targeted Democrat incumbents, is among the November midterm races across the country that could be influenced by voter response to the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s June repeal of Roe v.
