POLL: ARIZONA VOTERS STILL FAVOR LEGALIZING MARIJUANA

Despite a barrage of TV ads warning Arizona voters of the potential
consequences of legalizing marijuana, about half of those surveyed in
a new poll support creation of a system to tax and regulate sales of
the drug.

The Arizona Republic/Morrison/Cronkite News poll found 50 percent of
the registered voters surveyed favor Proposition 205, which would
legalize the drug for adults. Nearly 42 percent oppose it. And another
8 percent were undecided. The statewide telephone poll surveyed 779
registered voters between Oct. 10 and Oct. 15. The margin of error was
4 percentage points.
