The prospects of medical marijuana passing the necessary 60 percent threshold next year on a Presidential ballot are looking pretty good, according to the latest survey from Public Policy Polling.
Sixty-three percent of voters say they would pass such an initiative, to only 29 percent who say they would be opposed.
Democrats (78/15) overwhelmingly favor it with independents (61/32) slightly over the passage threshold, and even a narrow plurality of Republicans (47/44) for it as well. The generational divide also makes it clear it’s only a matter of time before looser marijuana laws go into place: Young voters (75/18) are nearly unanimous in their support for this initiative while seniors (53/40) give it its lowest level of support.

I’m not at all optimistic anymore. Watching it go down the tubes last time because the leadership failed to respond to the negative paid TV ads was just so disheartening to me. It shouldn’t have come down the way it did, and there is no indication that Mr. Pollara or Mr. Morgan have learned their lesson.
