A ballot measure that would establish a right to abortion in the Florida Constitution is not on track to pass in November, according to a poll by The New York Times and Siena College.
A plurality of voters expressed support for the measure — significantly more than those who said they would vote “no” — and a large percentage of voters were undecided. But Florida requires 60 percent of voters to approve any ballot amendment, an unusually high threshold, and the poll found support for the measure falling well short of that.
Conducted between Sept. 29 and Oct. 6, the poll found that 46 percent of likely voters said they would vote for the abortion rights amendment, 38 percent would vote against, and 16 percent said they did not know or refused to answer. Voters in the last category were twice as likely to support former President Donald J. Trump for president as they were to support Vice President Kamala Harris.
Abortion rights groups have prevailed in all seven state ballot measures across the country in the two years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that established a constitutional right to abortion.

I hope the ballot to put the “right” to killing babies in the constitution fails miserably.
MSM getting desperate to try to sway this vote.
Do the babies get to vote. Can I vote for them? Please.
You can’t give women a “right” to murder babies? That’s insane.
God bless Florida if this true. For once, I’d like to see abortion lose at the ballot box.
2 eff nos in this house
Maybe the pro-abortion fanaticism is starting to wane. If so, a good sign for November.
I just voted against it (by mail vote). Florida gives enough time to decide pregnancy. Late term abortion is abhorrent and cruel and despicable.
I’m voting no.
I did just that, earlier today. One for the kids!
So they'll vote "yes" in Florida. Probably with around 60%, which is the minimum necessary to pass.
As a Florida voter I am very much looking forward to helping make this a big NO!
There’s a reason that videos of real abortions are not shown.
If they were abortions could never be voted into legality.
Who determines “viability?”
