Who won, and how much of the country was behind them
The dotted gap is 2.3% of U.S. adults whose member did not vote, voted “present,” or whose seat was vacant.
| Side | Outcome | Votes | Share of U.S. adults |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nay | Won | 48 | 43.9% |
| Yea | Lost | 49 | 53.8% |
| Not represented on this question | No position taken | 0 | 2.3% |
Senate This side won even though more senators, and more Americans, voted the other way. Ending debate needed 60 votes here, not a majority.
