After months of strong popularity, Proposition 2 has lost ground among Utah voters and is polling barely above the crucial 50 percent mark just weeks ahead of Election Day, a new poll shows.
A Salt Lake Tribune-Hinckley Institute of Politics poll indicates that support for the medical marijuana initiative has waned by about 15 percentage points since June and that only 3 percent of voters remain indecisive about the measure. A big erosion of support among active members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stands out in the survey.
The reported drop comes on the heels of a major shift in the debate around Prop 2. Amid the recent round of polling, state leaders and advocates announced they’d agreed on a medical cannabis plan that lawmakers would consider in a November special session.
