The latest in a series of polls ahead of the November elections continues to show that a sizable majority Massachusetts voters oppose a measure on the ballot that would roll back the state’s marijuana legalization law.
The new survey, published on Tuesday by CommonWealth Beacon and conducted by MassINC Polling Group (MPG), shows that 61 percent of likely voters oppose the initiative—which would repeal laws allowing the regulated commercial sales of recreational cannabis and home cultivation while maintaining legal possession and continuing the medical marijuana system.
Just 27 percent of respondents said they favor the anti-cannabis ballot measure, while 11 percent are undecided and 1 percent responded that they would prefer not to state their opinion.
No age, race, geographic of political demographic showed majority support for rolling back marijuana legalization in the survey, though Republicans were twice as likely to back the anti-cannabis initiative (42 percent) than Democrats are (21 percent).
The poll also shows that the marijuana legalization repeal has less support than any other measure on the November ballot, except for a veto referendum question for which a “yes” vote will keep a 2024 gun law in effect and a “no” vote will repeal it.
