A new poll shows that many Pennsylvanians don’t support legalizing the recreational use of marijuana, a finding that contradicts the widespread support predicted by Gov. Tom Wolf and Lt. Gov. John Fetterman.
Jim Lee with Susquehanna Polling and Research says their recent poll of 650 registered voters shows legalizing pot use is supported by fewer than 4 in 10 residents.
“The results show by a 48 to 37 margin voters say they oppose the legalization of marijuana for recreational use in the Commonwealth. Fifteen percent they were undecided on that question,” Lee said.
Lee says he’s not surprised at the result.
“We are a fairly conservative state, we are right of center when you think about cultural issues, and I think this poll validates that because only 22 percent of registered voters in this statewide poll identified themselves as progressives or liberals,” he said.
The Fox 43/SP&R poll was conducted between September 30 and October 6; it has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 percent.
