SAVE National Phone Survey: Abuse Victims Among Registered Voters Who Want VAWA Reform

We recently surveyed registered voters across America to see if they agree with recent reforms to the Violence Against Women Act. We specifically asked about reforms to stop waste, fraud, discriminatory practices, and false allegations.

Over-all findings:

1. Stop waste and fraud - 69.5%
2. Stop discrimination - 65.9%
3. Stop false allegations - 63.5%

The survey shows strong support for reform among key voting blocs including women and young people. One notable finding: About 7 in 10 persons who are a victim of domestic violence or who personally know an abuse victim support the proposed changes.
