Two in five Americans say that they’ve changed their opinions about drug policy in their lifetime—and most say that their views shifted in a more “liberal” direction—according to a new poll.
The YouGov survey looked at a variety of political issues, asking respondents to identify which topics they’ve changed their minds about, how their perspectives shifted on the political spectrum and what influenced them to think about the issue differently.

Foreign policy was the only issue that a larger share of U.S. adults (42 percent) say they have shifted their views on.
