A constitutional amendment to legalize medical marijuana in Florida is in serious jeopardy.
For more than a year, the amendment seemed to enjoy broad support, cutting across political, racial and age lines.
But with opposition forces financing TV ads and sheriffs showing up at forums, support for the amendment has slipped dramatically, according to a new Tampa Bay Times/Bay News 9/UF Bob Graham Center poll.
Only 48 percent of likely voters said they would vote for Amendment 2. Forty-four percent oppose it and 7 percent said they had not made up their minds.
The requirement that it pass by a 60 percent vote now represents an imposing hurdle.
