Almost entirely sure they're in favor of both medical and recreational...considering national support is now at 67% and likely only going higher, and 44% of all Republicans in favor of legalization.

It would have to be some very weird statistics to get Romney-2018 dem voters to diverge all the way below 50% support with numbers like that.

Its bs just like gun control polls and Affirmative action polls, those issues are extremely "popular" according to polls but not so popular at the ballot measures.

It would have to be some very weird statistics to get Romney-2018 dem voters to diverge all the way below 50% support with numbers like that.

Assuming these statistics are somewhat accurate (even if they're not, I think various groups tracking with one another could still be)...

Stereotype the average Romney '12-Dem '18 voter and the average Obama '12-GOP '18 voter. The parties have traded millions of these voters with one another over the time period. On one hand, you have a disproportionate NIMBY, family values-type cohort with conservative worldviews on behavior versus a loud and rowdy white trash constituency that has never exactly been socially statist when it comes to what people do with their bodies.

I don't necessarily see my preferred choice as an option in the poll. I could totally see these people being below 50% support (or even on par with the GOP at-large) when it comes to legalization. I imagine they're considerably less supportive than Democrats at-large (but more so than the GOP) on decriminalization, but comparable to Democrats on medical use.

So basically: definitely OK with medical, probably OK with decriminalizing and not OK with legalizing (options 2 or 3 depending on how you read it - voted option 3).

Ballot Measures would weight more heavily toward older people, which Marijuana is less popular with. 

Even then, most Marijuana ballot measures pass in the high fifties to low sixties.   Michigan's passed with about 56% in support.   If it were possible to include all the young people who didn't vote it'd definitely get into the 60% range, and Michigan isn't even a state where it'd be most popular.

I'd find 67% supporting it would be pretty accurate.

Weed failed in 2016 in Az with the same popularity as the 2016 election except the younger latino districts rejected it but I think az6th a white suburban district accepted it. Its really not that popular even if this was 2016.

That's grasping for straws - the AZ ballot was the ONLY one that failed that year out of nine different states.

Even then, it failed 51.3% to 48.7%,  hardly game changing.   Also AZ as a state skews older than the nation, and a lot has changed since 2016.

My mom was actually an Obama 2012, Renacci/DeWine/Latta 2018 voter. He doesn't mind marijuana.

Legalized recreational weed passed in 4 states
Cali was 57 43 and younger hispanic districts often rejected it while the beach districts in Orange accepted it. 15 points right of the state
Mass was also like plus 30 clinton but only plus 7 weed. Nevada was plus 2 clinton and plus 9 weed so it was left of the state. And even if the population overall vastly supports it,politicians are only held to the voters standard.. I am pretty sure weed is a majority issue but not a supermajority yet.
Michigan was around plus 10 whitner on election day and only about plus 15 weed. So it is a reasonably popular issue  but not super.
