Poll shows Florida abortion, marijuana referendums short of passage; bigger challenge for pot question
Published in Political News
The overall FAU findings are consistent with an Emerson College Polling survey released a week ago.
Emerson reported that 42% of Florida voters said they support the abortion rights amendment and 25% said they would vote no, with 32% undecided.
Marijuana
The poll found Democrats support the legalization question, 57% to 12%. Republican support is much lower: 39% with 50% opposed. Independents are between the two parties, with 43% in support, 28% opposed.
Independents were far more likely to say they didn’t know how they’d vote, at 28%, than Democrats or Republicans.
Support among men and women is about the same. But opposition among men is about 10 percentage points higher than among women. Among women, “don’t know’ was about 10 percentage points higher than among men.
There was virtually no difference based on white voters with college education and without college education. (The sample size wasn’t large enough to analyze differences between Black and Hispanic voters.)
