 CA Prop 19: Legal, Regulated Marijuana Favored 50%-40% in New Poll 
#12891870 - 07/13/10 08:44 AM (1 year, 10 months ago) |

California’s Proposition 19, which will legalize, regulate and tax marijuana, is currently winning, 50 percent yes to 40 percent no, according to a new SurveyUSA poll of likely voters sponsored by CBS 5 KPIX-TV.
SurveyUSA 7/8-11
Prop. 19:
Certain Yes 50
Certain No 40
Not Certain 11
(Note: Because of rounding, poll does not always add up to 100 percent)
This is an automatic poll of 614 likely voters with a margin of error of 4 percent. The poll shows a substantially higher preference for marijuana legalization than other recent surveys from Field Research and Reuters/Ipsos , which both had the measure losing narrowly.
Digging deeper in the numbers, not surprisingly, we see that young voters, 18-34, overwhelmingly support Prop. 19 by a margin of 70-22, while voters over 65 oppose it 50-37. Republicans as a whole oppose the initiative, but Democrats and independents favor it by large margins. The race breakdown is the most interesting measure.
Prop 19 Whites Black Hispanic Asian
Certain Yes 50 52 46 53
Certain No 40 24 43 38
Not Certain 11 24 11 9
SurveyUSA does not show a large disparity in support for Prop. 19 between whites and minorities, while the Field Poll found racial minorities significantly more opposed to marijuana legalization than white voters were. For example, SurveyUSA found Hispanics as the racial group least inclined toward Prop. 19 but still showed them supporting it, 46-43. In the Field poll (PDF) on the other hand, Latinos opposed strongly with only 36 percent supporting Prop. 19, and 62 percent against. Field also had only a bare majority, 52 percent, of young voters supporting Prop. 19. But SurveyUSA found 70 percent of young voters planning to vote yes. This is a significant difference between the two pollsters.
I have heard speculation that there might be a slight reverse “Bradley effect,” where some voters are embarrassed to be supporting Prop. 19 and are telling a live interviewer they oppose it. This might explain why SurveyUSA’s automatic poll, without a live interviewer, has Prop. 19 doing better. Looking at the cross tabs, if there is some type of reserve Bradley effect taking place, the likely source is possibly minorities and young voters who don’t feel comfortable telling a live interviewer they support Prop. 19.

I'd love for this to pass. It'd be an awesome place to celebrate my 21st birthday next year.

I'm definitely likely the percentage of younger voters that favor it. Even if it doesn't pass, the public's mind is rapidly moving in the right direction. In the next 10 years, I could see it being legal in all states.

Go California! Take the first step and start something great.
The amount of money this should generate would surely inspire other states to follow.

Back when we were in high school, my friend's dad used to say "Legalizing pot and prostitution will be legal one day. Just wait until there's another recession. The people want the freedom and the fedreal government will want the money." We all laughed and thought mj would never be legal and we'd be outlaws forever.
His thoughts were that morality parades and authoritarian smoke-screens like public health and safety will crumble in the face of an economic nose dive and then you will see the American gov't as it really is.

Republicans overwhelmingly are against the freedom to toke, yet are also against government interference. Cognitive dissonance anyone?

Yeah that's what I never understood. You look at the principles of the republican party and you'd think they'd be for legalizing drugs and keeping the government out of peoples personal lives but it's quite the opposite. Though I could see them in the near future realizing the hypocrisy of their current stance on drugs especially with the drug cartels invading their heartlands.

Well, some Reps are for it, but they're few and far between. And, most politicians of any stripe seem to feel that favoring legalization would make them appear "soft on drugs".

I may be wrong, but for some reason I had the idea that it would be set up exactlly like a liquer license; because yes, its just another regulated product. And just like we have some "dry" counties in some states, I bet some counties will move to ban sales/ whatever.

Well, the recession is here and Jerry Browne and Dianne Feinstein are against marijuana legalization and the American government is still imperialist filth murdering for lies so I dont think the authoritarian smoke screens are going anywhere without a struggle from below.

End American imperialism and colonization around the world and among the people conquered within the domestic empire.
