Path to the Polls: What UNF’s latest poll tells us is driving voters in the 2024 presidential election
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The presidential election is still six months away , and you have to take any polling with a grain of salt. That said, polls give us an idea of what the electorate is thinking.

The latest poll from the Public Opinion Research Lab at the University of North Florida provides some interesting insight into the psyche of voters into questions such as: Would a criminal conviction against Donald Trump change voters’ minds or would they continue to support the former president? Should states decide abortion policy and is the abortion issue a big determining factor in November?
It also examined other hot-button issues on voters’ minds. No doubt immigration has been a big topic in Florida, especially given some of the moves by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
