A strong majority of voters — 65% to 30% — want to see marijuana legalization in Florida.
The results were reported Thursday by the Quinnipiac University Poll, a showing the pollsters called “an all-time high in the state” on the marijuana issue.
Voters’ views have changed significantly. In May 2016, Florida voters were split with 56% in favor and 41% opposed. In November 2016, it was much closer, with 48% in favor and 46% opposed.
There are some caveats. The question is specific: allowing adults to legally possess small amounts of marijuana for personal use.
Another question, about whether people would support sale of legal marijuana in their communities, had about the same support: 61% to 34%.
legalization was supported by almost every demographic group: men (69%), women (62%), voters age 18-34 (89%), voters 65 and older (52%), white voters (66%), black voters (66%), Hispanic voters (68%), Democrats (78%), and independent voters (72%).
Republicans were evenly divided 48% to 48%.
Support for sales “in your community” were about the same for every group. However, black voters were less supportive of sales, at 53%.
