Alex Rossell Hayes @alxrh.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Knowing someone who's used marijuana or using it oneself is associated with more support for legalization. This may be because people who have experience with marijuana are more likely to say it makes people's lives better – especially in the case of medical marijuana. yougov.com/en-us/articl... 000
Alex Rossell Hayes @alxrh.bsky.social · 20/04/2026I was surprised to find older adults are more supportive of marijuana than younger adults: 45–64-year-olds were most supportive. Part of this may be because people in this age group are most likely to say that they've tried marijuana and that they know people who use it. yougov.com/en-us/articl... 100
Alex Rossell Hayes @alxrh.bsky.social · 20/04/2026In honor of this special day, new poll results: A majority of Americans support legalizing marijuana and support for medical marijuana is overwhelming. Read more @today.yougov.com: yougov.com/en-us/articl... 110
Alex Rossell Hayes @alxrh.bsky.social · 16/03/2026Americans have distinct opinions about Cuba's government and people. Majorities view the government unfavorably but the people favorably. And more Americans think economic sanctions hurt people than governments. That helps explain why so many oppose the oil blockade and the U.S. embargo more broadly 002
Alex Rossell Hayes @alxrh.bsky.social · 16/03/2026The Strait of Hormuz has dominated recent news coverage, but the U.S. has been blocking oil shipments to Cuba for months, making fuel unavailable there. In a new YouGov poll, we show that many Americans disapprove. More analysis in the replies and at @today.yougov.com: yougov.com/en-us/articl... 141
