ABC News: 46% of Americans Support Legalizing Marijuana
Posted May 1, 2009
In a new nationwide poll conducted by ABC News and The Washington Post, just released today, a record 46% of Americans support legalizing possession of small amounts of marijuana. Support for legalization is more than double what is was just 12 years ago, while the number of people opposed has dropped from 75% in the late 1990s to just over 50% today. This comes just weeks after a poll conducted by EMC Research showed that a majority of Californians support legalization. The question now appears to be when legalization will actually go forward, not if.
