Poll: Record Percentage Of Americans Support Legalizing Marijuana
Sixty-eight percent of registered voters “support the legalization of marijuana,” according to http://www.marihuana.ro/homework-management/ compiled by the Center for American Progress. The percentage is the highest level of support for legalization ever reported in a nationwide, scientific poll.
Majorities of Democrats (77 percent), Independents (62 percent), and Republicans (57 percent) back legalization. The results of a 2017 nationwide problem solving techniques pdf similarly found majority support among all three groups.
Seventy-three percent of respondents also expressed support for sealing the records of those previously convicted of marijuana-related offenses.
In an era of increasing partisanship, public support for ending cannabis criminalization is an issue that crosses party lines. More and more, elected officials – and those who wish to be elected – must acknowledge that advocating in favor of marijuana policy reform is a political opportunity, not a political liability.
