Poll: Only 1 in 10 Back Official GOP View of Abortion

A new CBS poll, taken in the wake of the Todd Akin episode, finds that only 10% of Americans back the official GOP platform view--that there should be no exceptions for allowing abortions.   But about 6 in 10 don't believe that most Republicans really support Akin's view, so I guess that helps the GOP.  Also, 57% say they would vote for a candidate (in most cases Romney?) even though they disagree with his stand on abortion. 

Detail:  "Men and women generally hold similar views on abortion, but women are more likely than men to say abortion should be allowed in all cases."
