these polls are more reefer madness the recent ppic poll is a joke they didn't even release the statistics of the demographics they polled.
please remember the Broadus Effect when reviewing the polls. People are not telling the truth about how they will vote because of all of the (unnecessary) negative social implications associated with cannabis. Robo polls (where it is automated by a computer) show 19 far ahead, where as person to person polls show a closer margin or 19 behind.
polls showed 215 in a similar way in 1996, yet passed with 56% majority.
if you want to encourage people to vote yes on 19 be vocal. talk to everyone you interact with about 19 and why we need this to pass. when people see that marijuana users are normal people like everyone else the stigma will start to change.
put a sign in your front yard (i will post a pic of ours later today) so all your neighbors can see your support
make a t-shirt with a cardboard stencil and spray paint and where it in crowded public spaces
last weekend the Cypress Hill Smokeout was in my city, the freeway off ramp was jam packed from 2-10pm, we hung a 5 foot white sheet spray painted with "yes on 19" and a big leaf from the fence along the off ramp for all to see. lots of support shown, sign is still up!
on election day i am riding my bike around the city with a yes on 19 banner. join me
this is a grass roots movement, we have to do all we can.
