Kansas City, MO, September 11, 2026 — A recent poll conducted in Missouri indicates a stark division among likely voters regarding Amendment 3, a ballot measure proposing to reinstate an abortion ban. The latest findings, released in August by SLU/YouGov, reveal a virtually tied race just months before the November election.
According to the poll, 44% of likely voters expressed opposition to Amendment 3, while 43% indicated their support. This narrow margin suggests a significant shift from earlier sentiment, which had suggested stronger backing for the ban.
The poll also highlighted geographical differences in voter sentiment across the state. The metropolitan areas of Kansas City and St. Louis emerged as centers of the greatest opposition to the proposed amendment. Specific percentages for these regions were not detailed in the summary.
Amendment 3, if passed, would reinstate an abortion ban in Missouri. The outcome of the vote is anticipated to have significant implications for reproductive rights in the state. Further polling and analysis are expected as the election approaches.
