A national survey by JL Partners, conducted among 1,000 registered voters on December 20-21, 2025, revealed that 53% of Americans support legalizing marijuana nationwide. Support reached 62% among Democrats and 51% among Republicans, indicating a shift in opinion across party lines. By gender, 58% of men favored legalization compared to 50% of women. Age demographics showed the highest support at 61% for those aged 30-49, with legalization outpacing opposition in all age groups surveyed.
