US EditionPresident Trump Should Consider Rescheduling More than Just Marijuana
A recent Emerson College poll shows a 5% increase in support for marijuana legalization among U.S. voters, with 65% in favor as political actions on cannabis policy advance.
- On August 25-26, Emerson College Polling found 65 percent of U.S. registered voters favor ending federal marijuana prohibition, marking a 5% increase since October 2024 from a sample of 1,000 registered voters with a credibility interval of +/- 3 percentage points.
- Amid renewed legislative activity, congressional Democrats last week refiled the MORE Act, and President Donald Trump last month said he expected to decide on cannabis rescheduling within weeks.
- Democrats lead partisan backing at 66 percent, independents also at 66 percent, while voters 70 and older are narrowly opposed, reflecting persistent age and party divides.
- Multiple national surveys show nearly seven in ten voters favor legal marijuana, reinforcing broader momentum as advocates and stakeholders await federal rescheduling considerations.
- Emerson College noted its weighting and matching methodology, stating it weighted responses by demographics and matched panel responses to the Aristotle voter file; full results and additional surveys are available from Emerson and NORML, whose deputy director argues the electorate is ready for legalization.
