The
Survey
Says...
Legalize
It!
10/4/02
The topsy-turvy, down and
dirty fight over the Nevada marijuana initiative, which would eliminate
criminal penalties for up to three ounces of marijuana, is swinging back
in favor of the measure, according to the most recent survey of Nevada
voters. Polls earlier this year had shown an even split, but after
the brouhaha over a police organization's "here today, gone tomorrow" endorsement
of the initiative and the subsequent mobilization of anti-initiative forces,
another poll found opponents with a substantial lead.
But in the most recent statewide
poll, done by Survey USA for KVBC-TV in Las Vegas on September 26, 56%
of registered voters surveyed said they planned to vote yes on Question
9 (the marijuana initiative), with 43% opposed and only 2% undecided.
Surveyors contacted 800 registered Nevada voters for the poll. There
is no word on the margin of error for the poll, but it shows a solid majority
in favor of the initiative and very few undecided voters with one month
left to Election Day.
