Contributing sentiments towards policy:
51% : In June, a Fox News survey found that 66% of Florida voters were for marijuana legalization while just 32% were against it -- and that came before Trump said he would support the marijuana initiative.38% : DeSantis is spending serious political capital in an effort to stop two amendments from passing this November: one that would legalize recreational marijuana, and another that would enshrine abortion rights in the state.
36% : Now, roughly a year after that blowup, Roe is on the verge of potentially getting the 60% voter approval needed to add the legalization of recreational marijuana to the Florida constitution, something DeSantis has forcefully opposed and spent significant sums of money -- both political and taxpayer dollars -- trying to defeat.
29% : "It's tough, it's an uphill fight there," a DeSantis ally said of the battle over recreational marijuana.
24% : (As for the abortion measure, Trump waffled a bit but finally said in August that he, as a resident of Florida, would vote against it, aligning with DeSantis' position.)
