June Current Events survey

June 24, 2026

In June 2026, Galvanize Action surveyed ideologically-moderate women to see how they were feeling about current events.

QUESTION #1
As the United States approaches its 250th year, which of the following best describes how you feel about the state of the country?

Chart showing that most ideologically-moderate women think the country is headed in the wrong direction. See table below for details.

The country is heading in the right direction	3%
The country is heading in the right direction, it just needs to overcome some challenges	22%
The country is heading in the wrong direction, but I’m optimistic it can get back on track	35%
The country is heading in the wrong direction and I don’t see it improving	33%
It’s too hard to say right now	7%

The majority of respondents (68%) believe the country is heading in the wrong direction, though opinions were split on whether the country can get back on track (35%) or is unlikely to improve (33%).

QUESTION #2
Thinking about the things that matter most to you, which party do you feel cares more about people like you?

Chart showing that women are roughly evenly split about whether Democrats, Republicans, or neither party cares about people like them. See table below for details.

The Democratic Party	33%
The Republican Party	27%
Both parties care equally	11%
Neither party cares	28%

When asked which party cares more about people like them, a third (33%) of women surveyed said the Democratic party, and over a quarter (27%) said the Republican party. A similar amount (28%) said neither party cares.

QUESTION #3
Which party, if either, do you think is more corrupt?

Chart showing most women think both parties are equally corrupt (41%), and the next biggest slice thinks the Republican party is more corrupt (32%). See table below for details.

The Democratic Party is more corrupt	21%
The Republican Party is more corrupt	32%
Both parties are equally corrupt	41%
Neither party is particularly corrupt	6%

A plurality (41%) of respondents believe both parties are equally corrupt. While a larger percentage think the Republican party is more corrupt (32%) than the Democratic party (21%), in general these responses show that our audience perceives both parties to be corrupt.

QUESTION #4
Medication abortion is a way to end an early pregnancy using two prescription medications, mifepristone and misoprostol, instead of a surgical procedure. Which of the following best describes how your opinion on medication abortion has changed, if at all, over the past year?

Chart showing most women surveyed have not changed their opinion about medication abortion, and most support it. See table below for details.

My opinion hasn’t changed, I still support it	44%
My opinion has changed, I’m more supportive now	7%
My opinion has changed, I’m less supportive now	3%
My opinion hasn’t changed, I still do not support it	25%
I don’t have an opinion on medication abortion	21%

Just over half (51%) of women surveyed indicate that they support medication abortion, with 44% saying their opinion has not changed in the past year, meaning they have been and continue to be supportive of medication abortion. A quarter (25%) also say their opinion has not changed in the past year, but that they did not and still do not support medication abortion. Only 10% said their opinion has changed in the past year, whether positively (7%) or negatively (3%).

When we asked a similar question to a different sample of ideologically-moderate white women in May of 2026, 56% said they support access to medication abortion. In both August of 2025 and June of 2024, 62% of respondents said they support it, indicating a decline in support amongst our audience over the past year.

QUESTION #5
Last month, the Justice Department announced plans to establish a $1.8 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund to compensate people who believe they have been unfairly wronged by the government, such as those involved in the events at the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021. The announcement received criticism from both parties and has since been put on hold. To what extent would you support or oppose the creation of the Anti-Weaponization Fund?

Chart showing 36% strongly oppose the anti-weaponization fund, 14% somewhat oppose, and 35% neither support nor oppose. See details in table below.

Strongly support	4%
Somewhat support	11%
Neither support nor oppose	35%
Somewhat oppose	14%
Strongly oppose	36%

Half of respondents (50%) oppose the creation of the Anti-Weaponization Fund. While a plurality of women surveyed (36%) said they would strongly oppose it, nearly the same amount (35%) said they would neither support nor oppose.

QUESTION #6
Which of the following best describes your plan to vote in the 2026 midterm elections?

Chart showing that in the midterms, 34% will vote democracy, 25% republican, 23% undecided, 18% will not vote.

I plan to vote Democrat	34%
I plan to vote Republican	25%
I plan to vote, but I’m not sure yet how I’ll vote	23%
I do not plan to vote	18%

While more women surveyed say they plan to vote Democrat (34%) than Republican (25%), nearly a quarter (23%) say they are not sure yet how they’ll vote, and 18% say they do not plan to vote in the midterms at all. These results are consistent with our previous findings in April and May of this year.
