since as for most issues, this is not black/white, either/or.

There was a survey out either just before or just after the Dobbs decision and I seem to recall it said something like 63% of respondents wanted Roe v. Wade to stay in place. But when more detailed questions were asked, it was obvious that a fair number of respondents either didn't know or didn't understand the parameters of Roe & Casey.

I'll see if can find it, but based on what I remember of it, it dovetails with the data in the OP.
