58% Back Florida Weed Ballot Measure In New Survey

Florida Politics reports:

Support for legalizing recreation remains high, but is still shy of the threshold needed to amend Florida’s Constitution. That’s according to a poll released by the Florida Chamber of Commerce, which found 58% of Floridians ready to support Amendment 3 on the November ballot.

About 37% of those polled oppose the measure and only 5% remain undecided. In order for a proposed constitutional amendment to pass, 60% of voters weighing in on the ballot initiative must support it.

Pollsters at Cherry Communications report a margin of error of 4 percentage points, so that puts passage within reach. But taking the results of the poll at face value, supporters of the measure will need to win over nearly half of voters still on the fence in order for the measure to pass.

Read the full article. DeSantis has been crusading across the state and on right wing media against the measure, usually by attacking blue cities for “stinking of weed.”
