Could Pot Drive Turnout In Key Elections?
A survey making the rounds among strategists, which has yet to be made public, indicates that pot could be just the enticement many reluctant voters need to get to the polls. Support for marijuana legalization has been ticking up over the past decade as residents of states with legal medical marijuana realize that the sky hasn't fallen. And backing has surged more recently amid deficit hysteria and a declining economy, as voters are less inclined to spend tax dollars on a drug war when instead marijuana could itself be taxed and used to create jobs.
