Poll shows Florida abortion, marijuana referendums short of passage; bigger challenge for pot question

The two high-profile referendums on the 2024 Florida ballot — on abortion rights and recreational marijuana —  are polling short of what they need to pass.

A statewide public opinion poll released Thursday by Florida Atlantic University found less than 50% support for each. Passage requires 60% of the vote.

• Abortion: The measure that would enshrine abortion rights in the Florida Constitution, Amendment 4, has support of 49% of those surveyed and opposition from 19%. About one-third of voters, 32%, said they didn’t know.
