Medical Marijuana Amendment in Good Shape With Florida Voters

A proposed state constitutional amendment allowing medical marijuana use in Florida is in solid shape to pass in November, a new poll finds.

A poll from Gravis Marketing, unveiled on Wednesday and commissioned by conservative magazine Human Events, finds 60 percent of those surveyed support the proposed amendment while 32 percent oppose it and 8 percent remain unsure. A Gravis poll from February found 57 percent supported the proposed amendment and 31 percent opposed it while 11 percent were unsure.

To pass, the proposed amendment will need 60 percent of the vote in the November ballot.

Medical marijuana is at its magic number of 60 percent, said Doug Kaplan of Gravis. I believe getting 60 percent is difficult but, without opposition, medical marijuana passes with 65-to-66 percent.

The poll of 907 registered voters in Florida was taken from April 23-25 and had a margin of error of +/- 3 percent.
