All-time high: majority of republicans support pot legalization for first time
Fifty-one percent of Republicans tell Gallup that, yes, marijuana should be legal, up from 42 percent last year.
What has changed? Half the country has moved toward marijuana legalization in some form — with more than a half-dozen states having legalized pot for recreational use and more than dozen others having legalized medical marijuana. As Gallup’s Justin McCarthy notes, “As efforts to legalize marijuana at the state level continue to yield successes, public opinion, too, has shifted toward greater support.”
