New Poll Shows How Florida Voters Feel About Measures Restricting Abortion

Last week, several Republicans sent shockwaves across the country with their stances on abortion. Kari Lake, who is running as a Republican to represent Arizona in the U.S. Senate, came out against a decision by the Arizona Supreme Court to allow a pre-Roe v. Wade law banning abortion to take effect. Lake’s announcement came after former President Donald Trump said he would not be in favor of a national abortion ban. 

In many states, abortion measures will be on the ballot this year. 

A new Ipsos poll found that a majority of registered voters in Florida would vote to expand abortion access in the state. However, it falls short of the required threshold to become law. 

According to the poll, when asked about the 2024 Florida ballot measure that would make abortion legal up until fetal viability, 57 percent of registered voters in Florida said they would vote in favor of it. On the contrary, 36 percent said they would vote against it and 6 percent said they are unsure (via Ipsos):

Sentiments around the abortion ballot measure vary by party affiliation: 78% of Democrats, 63% of independents, and 34% of Republicans who are registered voters say they would vote in favor of Florida abortion legality this November. Nearly three in five (59%) Republican registered voters say they would vote against it, compared to just 28% of independents and 18% of Democrats.

More than half of Floridians, 55 percent, said that they oppose a national 6-week abortion ban. Twenty-three percent said they support it.

Thirty-four percent of respondents said they agree with Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis handling of the issue of abortion. 

At the moment, the Florida Supreme Court upheld the state’s 15-week ban as constitutional. A six-week ban is scheduled to take effect next month. 

According to Newsmax, Floridians Protecting Freedom, which is pushing the "Yes On 4" campaign, has raised nearly $20 million to date from abortion-rights groups.
