Colorado Poll Numbers

Not surprisingly, poll numbers re: marijuana legalization have only increased since Colorado's legalization.

According to a new survey from Public Policy Polling, Marijuana has become more popular in the two months the law legalizing recreational use of the drug has been in effect in Colorado.

The poll found 57 per cent of Coloradoans now say they think marijuana usage should be legal, compared with 35 per cent who say it should not. The 22-point spread has widened from the 10.5-point spread by which voters passed the 2012 Colorado referendum legalizing small amounts of possession and growing in the state.

New York Medical Marijuana Supported by Large Margin

Diving a bit deeper into new polling released on Monday:

"State voters favor legalizing medical marijuana by a huge margin - 88% to 9%, according to a Quinnipiac poll." h/t Daily News

Huge margin indeed. It would be interesting to see the response if polling outfits asked individuals whether they'd favor Cuomo's limited-scope proposal versus either Colorado or California's more expansive and business-friendly medical marijuana initiatives.
