Poll: 66% of Miami-Dade voters support abortion rights amendment
https://floridapolitics.com/archives/688785-poll-66-of-miami-dade-voters-support-abortion-rights-amendment/Nearly two-thirds of Miami-Dade voters want to see abortion rights enshrined in the Florida Constitution, new polling shows.
Among likely General Election voters in the state’s most populous county, 66% support the passage of Amendment 4, which would restore the right to an abortion up to the point of viability (around 24 weeks of pregnancy).
That’s fourfold the time women in Florida have now. In May, a ban on most abortions after six weeks took effect. That ban, called the “Heartbeat Protection Act,” is among the most restrictive in the country.
Pollsters from Plantation-based MDW Communications surveyed 1,071 Miami-Dade voters Aug. 1-5. The poll, commissioned by political strategist Christian Ulvert’s EDGE Communications, was modeled with a +5 Democratic turnout with the makeup being 38% Democrat, 33% Republican and 29% no-party voters.
It had a 4.6-percentage-point margin of error.
Twenty-two percent of respondents oppose Amendment 4. The remaining 12% say they are undecided on the matter.
