POLL: 61% Back Florida Abortion Rights Ballot Measure

Pro-DeSantis outlet Florida’s Voice reports:

A new poll conducted in Florida found that the abortion ballot initiative voters will decide on this November could have enough support to pass. Released by the Florida Chamber of Commerce, the poll placed the abortion initiative’s support at 61%. It found that 29% oppose, and 10% remain unsure.

Amendments need 60% of the vote to take effect in Florida’s Constitution. The poll is the first to find the amendment passing since the court ruled on its placement. DeSantis has warned not only will it thwart protections for fetuses with detectable heartbeats, but it will strip parental consent rights for underaged abortions.
