Denver Post poll: Majority of Colorado voters support Amendment 64

A majority of Colorado voters support Amendment 64, according to a poll released today by the Denver Post. The poll, conducted Sep. 9-12 by SurveyUSA, shows the initiative ahead 51-40.

As The Huffington Post reports, several polls over the past few months have found Amendment 64 in the lead:

Colorado's Amendment 64 does appear to be popular among voters. Earlier this month, Public Policy Polling surveyed 1,000 likely voters and found that 47 percent would vote in support of Amendment 64, while only 38 percent would vote against the ballot measure.

That percentage was the exact same that PPP had found one month prior during a similar survey.

The largest percentage in favor of legalization in Colorado ever polled came from Rasmussen, back in June, which found 61 percent of likely Colorado voters in favor of legalizing marijuana if it is regulated the way that alcohol and cigarettes are currently regulated.
