42% Back FL Abortion Rights Measure, 32% Undecided

The Orlando Sentinel reports:

Four out of 10 Florida voters support a referendum that would enshrine abortion rights in the state Constitution, a poll showed Thursday, far short of the 60% majority needed for passage. The Emerson College Polling survey found 42% of voters said they support the amendment. Another 25% said they would vote no.

The fate of the amendment will be decided by the large share — 32% of surveyed voters — who said they were undecided. That gives the campaigns being mapped out by both sides a large pool of voters they can try to sway in favor or opposition.

On May 1, almost all abortions after the sixth week of pregnancy will be illegal in Florida. The Emerson poll found 57% of Florida voters believe the six-week ban is too strict, 28% think it is about right and 15% said it is not strict enough.

Florida abortion rights measure is +17 in a poll with high undecideds.

It basically needs to be +20 to pass. (60% threshold in Florida.)

That’ll be tough on past evidence in other states. But could still be a sizable majority rejecting the state’s abortion bans. https://t.co/x66ycjVutF
