Florida voters will decide in November whether the state will gradually raise its minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2026.
Two-thirds of Florida voters support a 2020 ballot initiative to gradually raise the state's minimum wage to $15 per hour, according to a new Monmouth University poll.
Monmouth's poll Tuesday also found Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leading President Donald Trump by a 50% to 45% margin in Florida. In the Sunshine State, 67% of registered voters said they would vote to raise the pay floor to $15 an hour, according to the Monmouth University survey. Only 26% responded that they would oppose the initiative.
Seven states and Washington, D.C., have approved a $15 per hour pay floor as labor advocates push for what they call a living wage. Florida, if it approves the ballot measure, would become the second most populous state to take that step.
