The Proclamation was an urgent wartime measure, aimed at keeping Britain and France out of the war. The mid-term elections did not show much support for it at home - reminding us of the basic fact that most Northerners were not Abolitionists. The presence of more and more black soldiers in Northern uniform slowly started to influence American opinion about blacks as potentially equal citizens.
The abolitionist lobby may have had great influence, but it was not very numerous. At the outbreak of the Civil War, most Northerners did not feel strongly about slavery. The war itself was not directly about slavery until Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation (Sept. 1862, effective Jan. 1863) - and even that was mainly a tactical move to keep the British from supporting the Confederates.
