As Gov. Ron DeSantis and allied conservatives continue to dub the Sunshine State the “Free State of Florida,” a large majority of Floridians seem to believe it’s not free enough.
That’s a clear takeaway from two recent surveys from Sachs Media’s Breakthrough Research showing that with Election Day just eight weeks away, Florida voters remain solidly committed to making their own choices when it comes to abortion rights, hunting and fishing, and the recreational use of marijuana. Proposed constitutional amendments on all three issues currently enjoy enough support to easily exceed the 60% threshold for adoption.
“If you’re looking for an overall theme, it may be this: amendments that would reinforce individual freedoms are doing well with the public, while those that would alter the manner of government remain unpopular with the governed,” said Sachs Media partner and director of research Karen Cyphers, who conducted the survey.
The survey found four proposals headed for adoption in November, if numbers hold:
— Amendment 3, authorizing the recreational use of marijuana by adults, is currently supported by 65% of voters, up from 63% in April.
— Amendment 4, enshrining abortion rights in the Florida Constitution, is currently supported by 76% of voters, up from 74% in April.
— Support for Amendment 5, requiring annual homestead adjustments for inflation, has grown to 80%, up from 75% in April.
— Amendment 2, placing the right to fish and hunt in the constitution, also enjoys 80% support, up from 77% in April.
But while most amendments appear on track to get the OK from voters this election, not all are enjoying the same support. With several years of clashes over the direction of public education in the state, voters don’t seem all that interested in bringing overt partisanship to School Board races across the state.
Amendment 1, which would require all School Board races to be partisan — meaning candidates’ political affiliations would appear on the ballot and candidates could campaign on their political leanings, something that is currently barred — currently has just 42% support, even less than the 47% it held in April.
Another election process-related measure to repeal public financing of elections is also in trouble. Amendment 6 is garnering just 49% support, up just slightly from the 46% it had in April but far short of the threshold for adoption.
In a perhaps telling fact about both struggling amendments, they were put on the ballot by the Legislature.
On most amendments, the results reflect deep partisan divides. Republicans are at least 15 percentage points more likely than Democrats to support Amendments 1 (School Boards) and 2 (fishing and hunting). By contrast, Democrats are far more likely than Republicans to support Amendments 3 (marijuana) and 4 (abortion) — even while a majority of Republican voters support each measure.
Here’s a deeper dive into what a combined 2,000 likely Florida voters have said about each amendment heading into the November elections:
Amendment 1: Partisan School Boards
Overall, only 42% of voters expressed support for this measure in September, down from 47% in April. The most significant factor in the change was a drop-off in Republican support, which fell from 59% to 50% over the five-month period. Democratic support fell from 39% to 35%, while support among no-party voters dipped slightly from 40% to 36%. The amendment is more popular among men (44%) than women (38%), and least popular among voters aged 65 and older (34%).
Amendment 2: Right to fish and hunt
With 80% overall support, this measure is popular across the board — although Republicans (89%) are far more supportive than Democrats (70%). Support is strong among both men and women, and among all age groups.
Amendment 3: Adult recreational marijuana
Despite an effort by some (but notably, not all) Florida conservatives to highlight potential problems with this amendment, overall support has grown slightly since April — from 63% then to 65% now. The measure is seen favorably by 79% of Democrats and 72% of no-party voters. Support is strong among both genders (67% female, 63% male), and across all age groups (77% among those ages 18-44, 65% among those 45-64, and 59% among those 65 and older). And currently, a majority of Republicans (51%) support the measure, up from 44% of Republicans just five months ago. During this time, a number of notable Florida Republicans including Sen. Joe Gruters and Donald Trump have broken ranks to support the measure, while DeSantis remains opposed.
For his part, DeSantis cites concerns that recreational marijuana would make the state smell “putrid,” with wafting clouds of weed smoke permeating the air — an experience that isn’t uncommon in some cities with widespread cannabis use. DeSantis’ concern seems to be shared by a meaningful portion of Floridians who are opposed to legalizing pot: 3 in 10 of current “no” voters say they’d be more likely to switch to “yes” if Florida passed a smoking ban in all public spaces. Such a proposed ban, which would include cigarettes and marijuana alike, is supported by nearly 2 in 3 voters (65%).
Interestingly, support is expressed by 75% of Democrats, 58% of no-party voters, and 60% of Republicans — in other words, Democrats are more likely to support both legal marijuana and bans on public smoking.
Amendment 4: Abortion
Despite the long-standing national debate over the issue of abortion, this proposal garners 76% overall support, with enough support to pass among nearly all demographics. Not surprisingly, its largest support comes from Democrats. But perhaps surprising is just how many Democrats are on board — a staggering 97%. Meanwhile, 78% of no-party voters support the abortion amendment. Even Republican voters are largely on board. Republican women support the amendment at a level high enough for passage and then some, at 67%, while a clear majority of Republicans overall support the amendment, at 57%.
Among genders, women are most supportive, at 83%, while 73% of men support Amendment 4. There is also broad support among all age demographics, with those 65 and older actually posting the strongest support, at 82%. Younger voters, those 18 to 44, are just behind, at 80% support, while 73% of those ages 45 to 64 are also supportive.
Amendment 5: Homestead exemption
Given the opportunity to increase certain homestead exemptions, 80% of Florida voters say they will vote “yes” — an increase from 75% five months ago. Support is high among party affiliations, genders and age groups — and is especially strong among younger voters, with those ages 18-44 expressing 90% support.
Amendment 6: Repealing public campaign financing
The Legislature may not like public financing, but Florida voters appear determined to keep it. The measure fails to get simple majority support, with just 49% for and 51% against in the latest survey, up only slightly from 46% support in April and nowhere near the 60% required for adoption. Democrats expressed the least support (45%), with Republicans (51%) and no-party voters (52%) only somewhat more enthusiastic. Men and women (51% each) equally fall short of the required vote threshold for passage, while only younger voters ages 18-44 (64%) would provide sufficient support — less than a majority of those ages 45-64 (48%) and 65 and older (49%) favor the change.

Amendments 3 and 4 are the only citizen initiated amendments., and both should pass. And public support is strong despite the governors attempts to thwart the will of the people. Again. And again.
Florida is not “free” for many of us who are targets of attack and harassment by this governor and his sycophants in the legislature. He is using authoritarian tactics to undermine the citizen initiative process and intimidate voters. His actions resonate voter intimidation goon squad is an assault on our freedoms.
Vote yes on 3 and 4, and no on all the rest.

Political landscapes change, but I guess it’s easier to scream nonsense than deal with facts.
Calling people “mutants” and “weasels” really shows how seriously you take this.

America’s inflamed demand to celebrate individuality continues to roar. The logic of community and social cohesion be damned. One insightful commentator summed it up neatly: “America is about doing what what I want to do, regardless.” Our society creeps ever closer to the condition of being ungovernable. It’s all a cycle, like everything else. In many parts of the world people are asking for government to come back and cleanup the messes they made by thoughtlessly dispensing “rights” to every grieving plaintiff. But it will take a long time in America, and the consequences, sadly, will be dangerous for the nation and the people.
JD
September 13, 2024 at 10:55 am
This argument relies on a false dichotomy: that individuality and community are mutually exclusive. In reality, a healthy society balances individual freedoms with collective responsibility. Celebrating individuality doesn’t inherently destroy social cohesion—it can enhance it by encouraging diverse perspectives and innovation.
Yes, too much focus on individualism can lead to social fragmentation, but the solution isn’t suppressing rights. Instead, it’s finding ways to harmonize personal freedoms with communal responsibilities. Blaming “rights” for societal issues ignores deeper problems like inequality, poor governance, or lack of civic education. America’s path isn’t a cycle of chaos—it’s one of evolving balance.

That doesn’t include the $150,000,000.00 spent on defending unconstitutional laws passed by the current administration in which the courts have struck down or challenged. Reckless taxpayer spending and the citizens are starting to get a clue what’s happening. The blue wave is coming, watch the MAGAts run for cover!

JD
September 13, 2024 at 10:52 am
Claiming Democrats “prefer” keeping weed illegal is laughably off base. Democrats have been actively pushing for cannabis reform with bills like the MORE Act and the SAFE Banking Act. They’ve actually passed legislation in the House, but guess who’s blocking it? Republicans.
So, if you’re looking for who’s “all talk, no action,” maybe take a closer look at the side that’s constantly stalling progress. It’s not the Democrats.

JD
September 13, 2024 at 10:58 am
Using Obama’s words against us doesn’t really land here. Obama’s quote about excuses is about avoiding responsibility, which is exactly what Democrats are not doing when it comes to cannabis reform. They’ve taken action, passing bills and advocating for change. The “excuses” here? That’s the side blocking progress and pretending it’s someone else’s fault.
We’re not the ones using excuses to justify inaction—the real incompetence is failing to pass reforms that are already on the table – and that fall squarely on you it seems.

Let’s clear this up: I’m an NPA (No Party Affiliation), so I didn’t lose anything. But you seem like the one getting mad about losing. Your ideology is what’s losing ground, and you’re shouting from the fringe, hoping that volume will make up for relevance.
This debate is circular because you’re refusing to engage with the facts. Democrats passed cannabis reform bills that got blocked in the Senate. That’s not “failing”—that’s Republican obstruction. You want to blame others, but all I see are excuses.
As for Florida, yes, it leaned red recently, but let’s not ignore the shifts in voter opinion on key issues like abortion rights and cannabis reform. You might want to hold onto the past, but the political landscape is changing whether you admit it or not.
And for 2024? It hasn’t even happened yet, so you’re jumping to conclusions. Who’s really losing here? Maybe it’s those clinging to outdated narratives, ignoring the changing tides.

The claim that California has the highest insurance premiums across the board is just wrong.
Auto Insurance: States like Michigan and Louisiana often have higher rates than California
.
Homeowner’s Insurance: Florida and Texas can be more expensive due to hurricanes.
Health Insurance: States like Wyoming and West Virginia usually have higher health insurance premiums than California
.
So no, California doesn’t have the highest insurance premiums overall. It’s more complicated than that.

JD
September 13, 2024 at 11:10 am
First, calling someone a “liar” without checking your facts is weak. California does not have the highest overall insurance premiums across all categories. Here’s why: (AGAIN)
Auto insurance: States like Michigan and Louisiana often top the charts for the highest auto premiums, not California.
Homeowner’s insurance: Florida and Texas frequently have higher homeowner’s insurance due to hurricane risks.
Health insurance: California’s health insurance is more affordable than many states, thanks to its large marketplace and subsidies.
So, instead of throwing accusations, maybe check your sources. Not everything is a blanket “Democrat lie”—facts don’t care about party lines.

Calling out “Democrat failures” without acknowledging who’s actually blocking cannabis reform is just avoiding the facts. Democrats have passed multiple bills on marijuana legalization— again like the MORE Act—which were blocked in the Senate, primarily by Republican opposition. The failure isn’t on the Democrats for lack of trying; it’s on those deliberately obstructing progress.
If you want to talk about excuses, look at those who refuse to pass legislation that’s already been approved in one chamber. That’s the real roadblock. You’re making excuses or just not even acknowledging the Republican failures.

The idea that Democrats are responsible for the failure of cannabis reform doesn’t hold up when you look at the facts. The MORE Act, which would decriminalize marijuana at the federal level, has passed the House multiple times, most recently in 2022 with a vote of 220-204. The issue? It stalled in the Senate, where Republican opposition and lack of bipartisan support have been the main roadblocks.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democrats even introduced alternative cannabis legislation, but these bills have faced significant resistance from Republican senators, who have refused to move them forward. This isn’t a case of Democrats not acting—it’s about Republicans blocking progress in the Senate.
