BREAKING: New Poll Shows 66% of Florida Voters Support Amendment 3
Support continues to surge in campaign to legalize adult use recreational marijuana
(Orlando, FL) – A poll released today by the University of North Florida’s Public Opinion Research Lab (PORL) shows that Amendment 3 is garnering significant momentum before Election Day this November.
According to the poll, 66% of Florida voters intend to create a safer state by voting “yes” on Amendment 3. This poll marks an increase in two percentage points in favor of Amendment 3 since the last PORL poll was released in July. Additionally, the latest poll shows continued bipartisan support, with well over a majority of Democrats (78%), Independents (73%) and Republicans (53%) saying they support Amendment 3.
“After years of polling on marijuana in Florida, both medical and recreational, it is clear that the majority is in favor of legalization,” Dr. Michael Binder, PORL faculty director and UNF professor of political science, said in poll release. “Closing in on election day, despite some heavy campaigning, we’re seeing support for this amendment and is on track to exceed the 60% supermajority required to pass.”

“This poll is another welcome reminder that Amendment 3 is expansively supported and widely seen as the best path forward for Florida,” said Morgan Hill, Smart & Safe Florida spokesperson. “Legalizing recreational adult use marijuana is good for the health, safety and individual freedom of Floridians, and we are energized to continue showing that to voters between now and Election Day.”
