Nearly 9 of 10 Florida voters support photo ID requirement for voting
Likely voters in Florida overwhelmingly support a constitutional amendment requiring Congress to pass a balanced budget each year, and to require Florida voters to present a government issued ID in order to vote, according to our results from last week’s survey.
A constitutional amendment to require Congress to balance the federal budget earned much broader support from Florida voters. 83% of respondents said they would support that amendment, and 62% of respondents said they would strongly support it, to just 4% of respondents who were strongly opposed to it.
While Democrats were more likely to oppose a balanced budget requirement than Republicans, 75% of Democratic respondents still said they would support the amendment along with 90% of Republicans and 83% of Independents. Additionally, a majority of respondents from both parties and NPA’s strongly supported the amendment.
Finally, a proposal to require all Florida voters to show a government-issued ID such as a driver’s license in order to vote received almost universal support from respondents to our survey. 87% of respondents said they would support a photo ID requirement, to just 9% of respondents who said voters should not be required to show an ID. Even 82% of registered Democrats…Read More

Florida Voters - Jeb Bush 57%, Obama 38%
If the 2012 Presidential election were held today, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush would defeat President Barack Obama in the Sunshine State by nearly 20 points.
Governor Bush’s 57%-38% lead over Obama can be attributed to several interesting figures found in the crosstabs of our statewide survey of likely voters in Florida. For example, Bush enjoys a 66%-31% lead over President Obama among male voters, but only leads Obama 50%-44% among women.
Governor Bush leads President Obama among all age groups except voters aged 18-34, where Obama hangs on to a slim 48%-45% lead. Bush holds a 56%-40% lead with voters over 65, and crushes Obama 66%-32% with voters between 35 and 49 years old.
26% of Democrats stated they would vote for the younger brother of former President George W. Bush over Barack Obama if the Presidential election were held today. Bush has almost unanimous support from his base with 89% of Republicans supporting him, while Obama gets just 71% support from members of his own party. Governor Bush also leads President Obama 46%-40% among independent voters.
Finally, our regional crosstabs show Governor Bush dominating the President in Jacksonville and Florida’s Panhandle. 71% of respondents in that region preferred…Read More

Pro-life proposals garner strong support with Florida voters
Recently, Florida has gained national attention over a number of proposals aimed at reducing the number of abortions performed in the state. Viewpoint Florida went into the field this week to see how likely 2012 general election voters in Florida identified on the pro-life/pro-choice spectrum, and where they stood on some of the specific measures making their way through the Legislature.
We opened our poll by asking respondents if they identified themselves as either pro-life or pro-choice. 39% of respondents considered themselves pro-life, while 55% considered themselves pro-choice.
Responses broke along predictable partisan lines, with Republicans more likely to call themselves pro-life, and Democrats much more likely to identify as pro-choice. The most interesting findings on this question were the lack of a gender gap (55% of both male and female respondents identified as pro-choice), and the fact that likely voters under the age of 35 and over the age of 65 were less likely to consider themselves pro-choice.
Next, we asked whether doctors should be required to notify a minor’s parents before performing an abortion on a minor. This measure received overwhelming support, with 78% of respondents supporting such a requirement. Democrats were less likely than Republicans to…Read More
