Republicans Are Coming Around

Republican Support

Evidently Republicans are changing their tune.

YouGov’s latest research shows that most Americans still support legalization of marijuana, and that support for legalization has increased slightly, from 52% in December 2015 to 55% today. Most of this change is a result of changing attitudes among Republicans. In fact, for the first time, Republicans narrowly tend to support legalization, 45% to 42%.

Yeah. A slight increase of 3% in seven months (the poll was done in July). That is a heck of a rate of change for a politically divisive issue. If it keeps going at that rate support for legalization should be around 60% by October of next year.
