New poll shows 69% of Florida voters support #2

With 43 days until the election, and only days until early voting starts, public support for medical marijuana remains very stable:
Our new poll shows 69% of likely voters in Florida support this measure with only 28% opposed. 60% voter approval is needed to pass a Constitutional Amendment in the State of Florida. The findings are significant because they show voter backing of the amendment has remained virtually unchanged since the beginning of 2013.  Previous polls (conducted by 3 different pollsters) showed support at 70% in January, 71% in March, and 70% in June. 
Here's what's clear: 
Keeping medical decisions in the hands of doctors - not politicians - is simply not a controversial position for the vast majority of Floridians, and that has not changed over the last twenty-one months.
Opponents of Amendment 2 have been relentlessly pushing disingenuous talking points, and insulting the intelligence of the voters.  They've got millions behind them - but their uber-wealthy funders won't be able to dislodge support if we stay strong.
