FLORIDA MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION

A new poll obtained by Florida journalists this week shows that the marijuana legalization measure on the state’s ballot has a comfortable margin of support to pass in November. Meanwhile, the campaign behind the initiative released a pair of new radio ads as part of its ongoing effort to build support for the proposal.

The recent survey, reported by Florida Politics, indicates that more than 64 percent of Florida likely voters support Amendment 3. To pass, the constitutional amendment requires at least 60 percent of the votes cast in November’s election.

The local outlet reported on Wednesday that the survey it obtained was conducted among 1,065 respondents from June 26–June 29, with a margin of error of +/-2.9 percentage points, though the article did not include any further information about what firm or organization is behind it.A new poll obtained by Florida journalists this week shows that the marijuana legalization measure on the state’s ballot has a comfortable margin of support to pass in November.

If there’s any truth to the poll, it would be welcome news for legalization supporters, who have seen a mix of surveys in recent months—with most showing majority support for the reform but some with less than the 60 percent threshold needed to pass.
