Wall Street Journal, 11 Aug 2012 – Support in Colorado for an initiative to legalize marijuana is gaining ground, according to a new poll-a development that could help President Barack Obama in that battleground state by driving turnout among young voters. The poll, conducted by North Carolina-based Public Policy Polling, found support for the initiative at 47% to 38%-up from 46% to 42% in mid-June. It is especially popular among young people, who tend to favor Mr. Obama. According to the PPP poll, Colorado voters under 45 years old support the initiative-which would make it legal to possess as much as one ounce of pot for recreational use-by 58% to 30%. Older voters oppose the initiative by 44% to 39%.
