Fox News Poll: 66% of Florida Voters Support Marijuana Legalization on November Ballot

Jun 8, 2024, 04:13 PM

A new Fox News poll indicates that 66% of Florida voters support the marijuana legalization measure on the November ballot, with majorities of Democrats, Republicans, and independents backing the initiative. The measure has more support than Governor Ron DeSantis, who is campaigning against it. DeSantis recently vetoed a bill to restrict intoxicating hemp products, with sources suggesting he hopes the hemp industry will help fund a campaign to defeat the marijuana legalization initiative. Additionally, Republican Senator Rick Scott has announced he will vote against the ballot amendment, citing his brother's long history of addiction as a deeply personal reason for his decision.
