A Strong National Majority Now Supports Medical Marijuana Legalization

Nine in ten Americans across all key demographic groups now support the legalization of medical marijuana, according to a newly released poll by Quinnipiac University.

While there were slight differences in views based on political affiliation, with Democratic voters being more likely to support legalization, even among Republicans, support is strong at 81%.

In this deeply divided political climate, the rare universal support for this issue will enable easier passage of medical marijuana laws at the state level, as well as increase pressure to reform federal marijuana policies
