President Joe Biden vs Cannabis – Who’s more popular in the state of Maryland?

State of Mind

• What’s more popular in Maryland right now: legalization, or President Joe Biden? The answer is marijuana legalization, and it wasn’t too close of a race. Voters in Maryland were in favor of legalization at 60%, while 53% of the residents are currently happy with President Biden.

• Interestingly, support for legalization has fallen just a bit since this voter group was last polled — that majority support is seven percentage points lower than when Marylanders were last asked about it in March. However, it’s still a large enough percentage for legislators and state leaders to take notice.

• Unsurprisingly, after breaking down the data a bit, Democrats make up the majority of that favorable margin. 65 percent of Democrats say they back legalization, compared to 48 percent of Republicans.

• The forward momentum is, ultimately, exciting and promising: The House Cannabis Referendum and Legalization Workgroup held its first meeting last month.
