Were Obama Voters High in 2008?

A New PPP poll (pdf) has cross-referenced their questions with peoples feelings about Marijuana. The big buzz is Sarah Palin is ahead by a narrow margin among republicans who have used Marijuana. Huckabee is winning among the nonusers.

Among Republicans who say they've smoked Marijuana:

Palin 25
Gingrich 22
Huckabee 17
Romney 17
Paul 8

The poll also cross-referenced some questions with the 2008 Presidential vote. President Obama was favored in 2008 by those who support marijuana legalization. Almost half the of those who identified themselves as legalization supporters claimed they voted for Obama. Only 20% of McCain's supporters want marijuana legalization.



This statistic can not be solely attributed to the younger age of Obama voters. Although 52% of the 18~29 age group support marijuana legalization, the statistics for all other age groups are in the very low thirties. The demographic that most supports marijuana legalization is liberals. This explains a lot.

This picture is for all you "pot heads" for Obama:
