Amendment 2 on Medical Marijuana Does Well in Poll

A new poll shows Amendment 2, a proposal to allow more medical marijuana use in Florida, is in good shape for the November elections.

The poll released Friday from Gravis Marketing finds 62 percent of those surveyed support Amendment 2 while 26 percent say they plan to vote against it and 10 percent remain undecided on how they feel about it. For Amendment 2 to pass in the general election, it needs 60 percent or more support from Florida voters.

The poll of 859 registered voters was taken from Aug. 14-24 and had a margin of error of +/- 4 percent. Of those voters, 73 percent of them identified themselves as very likely to vote while 17 percent said they were likely to vote and 10 percent were somewhat likely to vote. Most of the sample -- 80 percent -- was collected via phone but the remainder came from Internet panels.
