Unpopular

Notable (in a good way!) for just saying that.

Something I've been saying for years is that you can write about poll results/voter sentiment strictly accurately but misleadingly depending on the agenda of the reporter.  You know, "voters divided" is always true! 51-49, voters divided! 70-30, voters divided!  Or, alternatively, 70-30, "voters overwhelmingly support...".   51-38, a bare majority!  51-38, clear support!

Reporters are slowly refashioning their abortion scripts in various ways, but they were locked in them for decades.
