Alexandria, VA: Likely voters in Arizona and Nevada strongly support allowing adults to use marijuana and other related reforms, according to polling data compiled by the market research firm The Tarrance Group.
Specifically, supermajorities of voters in both states favored legalizing cannabis, removing it from its Schedule I classification under federal law, and permitting banks and other financial institutions to explicitly partner with state-licensed cannabis businesses.
Polling previously compiled by the firm reported similar results in the battleground states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
“Legalizing and regulating adult-use cannabis access is not only good policy, but it’s also good politics,” NORML’s Deputy Director Paul Armentano said. “State and federal politicians who continue to ignore their constituents’ sentiments on these issues do so at their own political peril.”
In recent weeks, both Presidential candidates have called for ending marijuana-related possession arrests. Donald Trump also recently tweeted his intention to vote for Florida’s Amendment 3 initiative, which permits existing medical cannabis facilities to engage in adult-use marijuana sales.
On election day, voters in four states – Florida, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota – will decide on cannabis-specific ballot measures.
Additional Election 2024 coverage is available from NORML.
