UD poll: Most favor legal weed, universal health care
DOVER — A majority of Delawareans continue to support legal marijuana, and a similar ratio backs universal health care, according to a new poll released by the University of Delaware Wednesday night.
Overseen by the university’s Center for Political Communication and conducted in the middle of September, the poll surveyed 995 Delawareans on several hot topics, as well as the favorability of a handful of state officials.
Sixty-one percent of respondents said they back legalizing cannabis, the same percentage that answered yes in 2016. Legislation to allow recreational marijuana use failed to pass in the General Assembly this year, falling four votes short of approval in the House. The bill never received a Senate vote.
Nine states have legal weed, and Canada on Wednesday became the second country in the world to allow recreational usage. A June Gallup poll reported 65 percent of Americans say using cannabis is morally acceptable.
