Florida’s ballot amendment needs 60% to pass.
According to a recent poll conducted by Saks Media, if elections were held today, the property tax cut would pass with 64% of the vote.
Support between political groups
87% of Republican voters support this proposal. Sixty-two percent of independents supported it, but only 35% of Democrats agreed.
Florida renters also support the tax reform. A Saks poll found that 64% of renters use them.
There were mixed signals from renters. A plurality (42%) said they would be encouraged to own a home if the proposals passed, while 25% said it would not affect them and would continue to rent.
But some critics are not convinced the tax reform bill will pass based on past polling data.
Summer 2024 polls showed 66% of Florida voters supported marijuana reform, and that number remained largely unchanged in the fall.
In mid-October, weeks before the November 2024 election, a poll released by the (UNF) University of North Florida Public Opinion Research Institute found that 66% of Florida voters intend to vote “yes” on Amendment 3.
In fact, UNF researchers said the Third Amendment is “gaining significant momentum ahead of Election Day.”
However, this amendment failed, surprising many analysts. The final vote tally was 56% saying yes and 44% saying no, which was much shorter than what polls were telling voters.
Polls last year by groups such as the James Madison Institute showed the proposed property tax amendment received more than 60% support from Florida voters. However, support for the proposal declined when questions arose about cuts to local government services that could be affected.
