Poll:Americans Split Evenly on Legalizing Marijuana



I think it’s a horrible idea.  Look to see how teenagers are going to be ill effected in states like Washington and Colorado.  When the data comes let’s see what the polls say then.  

Americans are split on spliff.

Marijuana, that is. Forty-nine percent in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll support legalizing small amounts of the drug for personal use. Almost exactly the same number, 48 percent, are opposed.


Support for legalization is numerically at a new high in ABC/Post polls, albeit only by a single percentage point from its level slightly more than a year ago, and up dramatically from its lows in the mid-1980s and well into the 1990s.

At the same time, strength of sentiment continues to weigh against the weed. Thirty-six percent “strongly” oppose its legalization, more than the 28 percent who strongly support it.

This poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates, finds several sharp contrasts on the issue among groups, notably by age, political party identification and ideology.
