A new poll has found that a majority of Utah voters support legalizing recreational marijuana.
While Utah currently allows medical marijuana, recreational use remains illegal. The poll, conducted by Noble Predictive Insights and commissioned by Keep Utah Medical, found that 52% of Utah voters back legalization, 38% oppose it, and 9% are undecided. Keep Utah Medical, which led the state’s successful medical cannabis initiative in 2018, says it has no plans to push for recreational legalization, but is simply gauging support for this issue.
The poll found that 76% of Democrats and 61% of independents favor legalization, while Republicans are more divided, with 51% opposed and 41% in support.
The poll included 609 registered Utah voters as participants, interviewed between March 11 and 13. It has a margin of error of 3.97%.
