A majority of Americans support Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide, a new Quinnipac University poll found.

The poll found that 63 percent of respondents agree with the court decision, compared with 31 percent who don't.

While 58 percent of Republicans disagree with the court case, a majority of every other group by party, gender, education, age and racial group agrees with it, according to the poll.

Collins has voiced skepticism that the Supreme Court will overturn the Roe v. Wade regardless of Kennedy’s replacement.

“A candidate for this important position who would overturn Roe v. Wade would not be acceptable to me because that would indicate an activist agenda that I don’t want to see a judge have, and that would indicate to me a failure to respect precedent,” Collins said on ABC’s “This Week."

The Quinnipiac poll was conducted from June 27 to July 1, surveyed 1,020 voters nationwide and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.
