New polling suggests the already widespread support for marijuana legalization in Louisiana has grown significantly over the last 12 months. It’s now up to 68 percent from the public as of the most recent JMC poll and JMC pollster John Couvillon says the policy has support from every demographic and geographic category in the state, except those over 65.

The poll features responses from 1,160 individuals.
