About two in three American voters says legalizing marijuana nationwide would be a “good” idea, according to a new poll. The survey from Emerson College found that 65 percent of registered voters are in favor of ending prohibition altogether. Just 35 percent said legalization is a “bad” idea.

The 65 percent support figure marks a five percentage point increase compared to the last time Emerson College inquired about the issue last October. Majority support for reform extended across all age demographics, except those 70 and older, who are narrowly divided on legalization.

The survey involved interviews with 1,000 registered voters from August 25-26, with a +/-3 percentage point margin of error.
