Poll boosts lethal injections Nobody can accuse Florida residents of being ''soft'' on crime.
A new poll shows 92 percent of the state's population favor the death penalty. Those favoring a switch to injections, indicated they thought it would be quicker and less painful than the electric chair - although medical experts say death is instantaneous in the chair. Injections clearly are pain-free. They also appear less violent, which makes them less controversial. It seems odd that killers are spared the pain most noncriminals must suffer when dying.
