A new poll says about 42% of Florida voters support the abortion rights ballot initiative in November, while 25% are against and 32% are undecided.
“Fifty-six percent of Democrats and 44% of independents plan to vote in favor of a constitutional right to abortion before fetal viability,” said Spencer Kimball, Executive Director of Emerson College Polling. “Republicans are more split: 36% plan to vote no, 30% yes, and 34% are unsure.” hima f8650e
Emerson College released the findings from its latest survey Thursday. In addition to the ballot question, the survey asked voters whether they supported individual candidates. Donald Trump is leading over President Joe Biden in the Sunshine State, the poll said.
With the state’s six-week abortion ban cleared to take effect, Florida voters will decide whether to approve a constitutional amendment that limits government intervention in abortion procedures.
“A majority of voters (57%) find the six-week abortion ban that will become state law next month is ‘too strict.’ Fifteen percent think it is not strict enough, and 28% think it is about right,” Emerson College Polling said in the news release. “Regarding the current 15-week ban, 43% think it is too strict, 21% think it is not strict enough and 36% think it is about right.”
The Emerson College’s poll, which sampled 1,000 voters on April 9 and April 10, has a +/- 3-percentage-point margin of error. The Emerson College Polling Center describes itself as a “non-partisan organization that administers opinion surveys to better understand the attitudes and beliefs of the public.”
“The data sets were weighted by gender, education, race, age, party affiliation, and region based on 2024 registration modeling. Turnout modeling is based on U.S. Census parameters, and voter registration data,” Emerson said about its methodology.
Democrats are fired up and using the issue of abortion rights to galvanize its base. In Arizona, the state’s Supreme Court ruled this week a Civil War-era rule on banning abortions, except to save the mother’s life but not in cases of incest or rape, is valid on the books. Biden’s campaign said the decision is sending shockwaves through the country.

When you can’t campaign on the economy When you can’t campaign on crime When you cant campaign on foreign policy When you can’t campaign on immigration
You blow the dust off of the old Demo playbook:
The Repubs are coming for abortion, social security, Medicare / Medicaid. The uninformed zombies of course will buy into it! Only the dumb amongst us believe that.
Are you talking about the Republicans?
Economy: The real GDP growth in the U.S. was noted at 2.5% in 2023, following increases of 5.8% in 2021 and 1.9% in 2022, indicating a continued recovery from the pandemic-induced recession.
Unemployment rates dropped significantly under the current administration, from a high during the pandemic to around 3.4% by early 2024.
Inflation rates, which had been a concern, stabilized to below 4% since mid-2023, reflecting effective monetary policy adjustments.
Crime: There was a reported decrease in homicides across the United States, with significant reductions noted in many large cities. For instance, a 10.7% decline in murders was reported in the first three quarters of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022
Foreign Policy: Yeah? They finally had to balls to end all the shit that Trump didn’t (that f@cking bone-spur pussy).
Immigration: You mean the bill the Republicans shit-canned? You own that.
Choice = freedom. Freedom = choice. Vote for abortion access in Florida.
Killing children is not freedom. You’re not going to get to 60% of this one. Most people in Florida do not support unregulated abortion-on-demand through the six-month of pregnancy.
hung, you wouldn’t distort an issue would you? no not you. you are the guy with the skewed facts and figures, so everything looks off to you.
