A majority of Florida voters oppose a potential mid-cycle redistricting effort being considered by Republican state lawmakers, according to a new poll released Thursday.

The Emerson College Polling survey found that 56 percent of respondents said redrawing Florida's congressional map mid-decade would be a "bad idea," while 44 percent called it a good idea.

Republican lawmakers in Florida have been discussing the possibility of redrawing the state's congressional districts outside the normal redistricting cycle, which typically occurs every ten years following the U.S. Census.

The poll results indicate divided public opinion on the redistricting proposal, with a clear majority expressing opposition to changing district boundaries before the standard timeline. Redistricting typically takes place after census data is released to account for population changes and ensure equal representation.

Florida's congressional map was last redrawn following the 2020 Census as part of the regular redistricting process. Any mid-cycle changes would affect the state's 28 congressional districts ahead of future elections.
