Florida voters skeptical of 2026 redistricting bid: Poll

A majority of likely voters in Florida oppose a mid-decade redistricting effort in the state, according to a recent survey.States across the nation, notably Texas and California, have redrawn their maps in the past year, with both parties seeking an advantage for the 2026 midterm elections.
Overall, 56% of likely Florida voters said such a move in their state would be a bad idea in the latest Emerson College poll. Forty-four percent of voters said it would be a good idea.
The results varied widely by party affiliation, with 57% of Republicans supporting such a move, compared to 35% of Democrats and 36% of independents.
Florida has mulled its own redraw ahead of an expected Supreme Court decision on the portion of the Voting Rights Act that mandates minority-majority congressional districts. 
Should the court strike down that provision, as many expect them to, it could trigger a wave of redraws across the Republican-dominated South.
Conducted March 29-31, the survey questioned 1,125 likely voters in Florida and has a margin of error of +/- 2.8%.
