Thanks. Sadly the [topline poll results](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/10/18/upshot/times-siena-poll-toplines.html) and [crosstabs](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/10/18/upshot/times-siena-poll-registered-voters-crosstabs.html) are also paywalled. I tried looking for those via the Siena site, but it just links back to the NYT. The topline and crosstabs are usually pretty interesting, and would cover much more than that single-issue article in the OP.

I’ve had polling folks call me a couple times in recent months to ask my opinion. I’ve always maintained that preserving the right to vote is my #1 concern. I feel that if we lose that, nothing else matters, because you lose the ability to elect people who will take care of any other issues you care about (climate change, abortion rights, the economy, prison reform, etc.).
