"According to Gallup polling, Americans who support legalizing marijuana has jumped from 12% in 1969 to 64% in 2025. People who admit to having used marijuana has also moved from just 4% in 1969 to 47% in 2024. You rarely get two in three Americans to agree on anything, but they do in fact agree that marijuana should be legal, Enten said."
"According to Gallup polling, 72% of Americans between 18 and 35 want marijuana legal. Nearly half of them also admit to using marijuana. Take a look at those under the age of 35, because they have been a real swing group, right? They swung wildly from the 2020 to 2024 election, going increasingly into the president's column. And then we've seen them actually shift back away from the president."
"Enten joined Kate Bolduan on Tuesday and argued that Trump loosening regulations on marijuana could end up being his best politics in a long time. This would be some of the best politics that Donald Trump has done in a long period of time if, in fact, the U.S. Decides to reschedule marijuana, Enten said."
Harry Enten argued that loosening marijuana restrictions could provide a political boost for President Donald Trump. Gallup polling shows support for legalizing marijuana rose from 12% in 1969 to 64% in 2025, while self-reported use increased from 4% in 1969 to 47% in 2024. Trump said he is strongly considering reclassifying marijuana, citing research benefits tied to reclassification. Enten identified young voters as a potential source of gains, noting 72% of Americans aged 18–35 favor legalization and nearly half report use. Enten suggested rescheduling could be used as a wedge issue against Democrats.
