I'll date you if you change your politics

They say you should never talk politics on a first date, but being “wrong” on an issue probably won’t be a deal breaker. Differing opinions on climate change and immigration, for example, would rule out a potential relationship for just 15% or less of the population.

A majority of the public, however, would find it difficult to negotiate around one divisive issue: abortion. According to the American Enterprise Institute’s latest American Perspectives survey, 24% say it would be impossible to date someone with different opinions on the subject of abortion. In contrast, 44% say it would be very or somewhat difficult.
