Legalizing Marijuana, Poll | featured news

Voters now oppose Prop. 19, which would legalize marijuana, 49% to 44%, and Prop. 23, which would suspend the state's global warming law, 48% to 37%.

With 48% opposed, legalization effort faces a difficult challenge, pollster says. Californians likely to vote in November are evenly split over whether to legalize marijuana, with only a small percentage of the electorate still undecided about the controversial issue, according to a poll conducted last week by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California.
