A new poll shows growing support among likely Iowa voters for the Freedom Amendment heading into the November general election.
The Freedom Amendment would add Second Amendment protections to Iowa’s state constitution. Only six states, which include Iowa, Minnesota, Maryland, California, New York, and New Jersey, do not have language in their respective state constitutions that protect the right of their citizens to keep and bear arms.
The Iowans for Tax Relief (ITR) poll found more than 62% of likely Iowa voters plan to support the measure in November, compared to just over 31% who reported they were against codifying the civil right.
The new data shows support for the Freedom Amendment has grown by several points since a similar poll was conducted in July. While the poll again showed strong nonpartisan support among Iowans of all political stripes, the new data also reveals support is growing the fastest among Independent and Democrat voters.
“The polling on the Freedom Amendment continues to show that while we live in a divisive political climate, Iowans are united in their support of their civil rights,” said Iowa Firearms Coalition (IFC) President Dave Funk. “From Governor Greg Abbott’s Texas to Senator Bernie Sanders’ Vermont, nearly every state in the union has already adopted their own version of the Freedom Amendment and we look forward to continuing our efforts to make sure Iowa has one of our own too.”
