2024 Election Polls Highlight Key Issues, Trends

A proposed constitutional amendment for the legalization of recreational marijuana in Florida faces opposition from the Florida Sheriffs Association and the Florida Police Chiefs Association, citing public health and safety concerns. Despite their opposition, a UNF poll shows 64% of Floridians support the amendment, alongside another that enshrines abortion rights with 69% backing. Nationally, polling shows a tight race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, with Harris leading narrowly in Pennsylvania and Oregon, but Trump ahead in Florida. The polls suggest Pennsylvania could be pivotal for the 2024 election, with its 19 electoral votes potentially deciding the outcome. Additionally, a Harvard-Harris poll indicates Trump leads Harris by 3 points nationally, though the poll's methodology has been criticized for oversampling Democrats.
