Summary

The PRRI/ Religion & Politics Tracking Poll was conducted by Public Religion Research Institute to examine attitudes on breaking news and emerging issues at the intersection of religion and politics. This survey investigated public views of marijuana. Questions not only assessed basic familiarity, but also attitudes toward the legalization, use, as well as moral and religious perceptions of marijuana use.

The ARDA has added four additional variables to the original data set to enhance the users' experience on our site.

Notes on Weighted Data

The final sample was weighted to six different parameters -- age, sex, geographic region, race, education and telephone usage -- to ensure reliable and accurate representation of the total adult population. Telephone usage refers to whether respondents have only a landline telephone, only a cell phone or both types and the frequency with which they use each type.
