POLL: NEARLY 70% OF UPSTATE NEW YORKERS SUPPORT MEDICAL
ALBANY - A poll released today by Cornell University Survey Research
Institute found that nearly two-thirds of New Yorkers are in favor of
legalizing marijuana for medical use.
A higher percentage of upstate residents support it than people who
live downstate - 67 percent versus 62 percent.
There is a marked difference in attitude between Democrats and
unaffiliated voters on one side and Republicans on the other,
according to the poll. Sixty-six percent of Democrats and 68 percent
of unaffiliated voters support legalization for medical use, while a
plurality of Republicans -- 48 percent - said they are against it.
