51% in California still oppose legalizing marijuana, poll finds

Legalizing marijuana remains a tough sell in California, according to a new poll.

The Public Policy Institute of California, in a new statewide survey ased Thursday, showed that 51% of voters oppose legalizing marijuana while 46% favor it.

Voters rejected marijuana legalization last year, but there has been talk of another ballot measure.

According to the PPIC, the finding was similar to a poll conducted last September.

In the most recent survey, the San Francisco area was the only part of California that favored legalization. Most respondents in Southern California opposed it.
