Latest poll shows increasing support for Amendment 64 – Prominent pollster gives positive forecast

A poll released today, by Public Policy Polling (PPP) shows support is growing for Amendment 64, the initiative on this year's ballot to regulate marijuana like alcohol in Colorado.

Talking Points Memo reported:

The latest survey from Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) shows that 47 percent of likely Colorado voters support Amendment 64, which will appear on the state ballot in November. That’s a small uptick since PPP’s June survey, which showed 46 percent support, but opposition to the measure is dropping. Only 38 percent of voters oppose Amendment 64 in Wednesday’s poll, down from 42 percent in June.

Just hours before the poll was released, Denver's NBC affiliate station featured a discussion with prominent poltical analyst Floyd Ciruli about the prospects of this year's ballot initiatives. The Colorado pollster expressed a positive outlook on Amendment 64.

"A poll indicates it's very popular, over 50 percent support," Ciruli said. "And they have a lot of campaign money."

His conclusion: Amendment 64 could very well be adopted by Colorado voters this November. A video of the segment is below.
