Roe v. Wade should not be overturned. Compared to 33% who want to see it overturned.
On abortion overall, we see a different breakdown:
39% - support it being legal in only a few circumstances
25% - support abortion being legal in all cases
21% - support it being illegal in all cases
13% - support it being legal in most cases
2% - no opinion
1% - support it being legal with restrictions (respondent didn't specify what level of restrictions)
If my calculations are correct, that adds up to 101%.
That's common. Those percentages weren't originally just those numbers, they were probably something like 38.781% - hence rounded them up could add out to 101%
For example, say we sample nine people - 4 respond one way, 4 respond the other, and one is indifferent. That's 44.4444%; 44.4444%; and 11.1111% - which, if we round to whole numbers, comes out to 99%
It's irrelevant really, since most polls have margins of error of at least 4-5% anyway.
