It is difficult to accurately estimate the impact that abortion rights had on Election Day. Most of the opinion polls surrounding the 2020 election suggest that, while abortion rights were an important issue, the election was largely determined by other issues. Some polls suggest that abortion rights were more important to democrats than to republicans. Other polls suggest that while abortion rights did play a role, it was largely overshadowed by other more prominent issues such as the economy or social justice issues. Ultimately, abortion rights likely played an important role in the 2020 election, but the extent of that role may have been overestimated by democrats or underestimated by republicans.
