A record 68 per cent of Americans support legalizing marijuana as four states approved broad usage for this first time on Election Day. The findings from a new Gallup report showed that marijuana use and sales has drummed up more support this year than the last five decades. Gallup's first poll happened in 1969 and found that only 12 per cent of Americans championed marijuana. The support had more than doubled by 1977, landing at 28 per cent, but did not surpass 30 per cent until 2000. Last year, just 66 per cent of surveyed Americans backed legalization. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8930367/Record-breaking-68-Americans-support-legalizing-marijuana-according-poll.html
