Two recent polls show that Amendment 3, the ballot measure to legalize recreational marijuana in Florida, is likely to win enough votes to pass in the November general election. The surveys suggest an increase in voter support for the cannabis legalization initiative compared to earlier polls, which indicated Amendment 3 was shy of the 60% support needed to pass.
On Wednesday, the online news source Florida Politics reported that it had obtained the results of a recent poll indicating that Amendment 3 is supported by nearly two-thirds of voters. Conducted between June 26 and June 29, the poll showed that 64% of 1,065 likely voters said they would vote in favor of the recreational cannabis legalization initiative. The survey, which has a reported margin of error of 2.9%, showed universal support for legalizing pot among young voters, with 100% of respondents aged 18 to 29 saying they would vote in favor of Amendment 3.
Last month, a separate poll from Fox News also showed Florida’s marijuana legalization initiative headed to victory with a commanding 66% of voters indicating they would vote for Amendment 3. The poll showed broad support across the political spectrum, with 76% of Democrats, 71% of independent voters and 57% of Republicans saying they would vote in favor of ballot measure. Except for voters aged 65 and older, all demographic groups showed majority support for legalizing weed in Florida. The poll surveyed 1,075 Florida registered voters between June 1 and June 4 and has margin of error of 3 percentage points.[Read more at Forbes]
