New Florida poll: Trump leads; support strong for abortion and recreational weed

Republican Donald Trump has a 7-point lead over Democrat Kamala Harris among Florida voters, 49% to 42%, according to a new poll from the University of North Florida. Four percent are backing another candidate, and 6% are undecided or didn’t answer.

The poll also asked likely voters whom they support for U.S. Senate. When it comes to the race between incumbent Republican Florida Sen. Rick Scott and his Democratic opponent, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, 47% back Scott and 43% Mucarsel-Powell. Ten percent are undecided or didn’t answer.

Voters were also polled on their support for three proposed state constitutional amendments, which require yeses from 60% of voters to pass. Just 37% support Amendment 1, which would make school board elections partisan. Conversely, 64% say they will vote yes on Amendment 3, which would legalize recreational cannabis use. An even larger majority, 69%, say they will vote yes on Amendment 4, which would give Floridians the right to an abortion.
