New research released by Quinnipiac University showed presidential approval ratings in three swing states: Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Another source released data comparing presidential approval ratings and the approval ratings of marijuana.

Voters in Pennsylvania were not asked. Of course, this support came primarily from Democrats and Independents. In Pennsylvania, sixty-seven percent of Democrats, sixty-one percent of Independents and forty-one percent of Republicans supported legalization.
The research indicates that marijuana reform bills were also more favored than officials that are currently serving terms. This includes all six of the United States senators from Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania. The only governor of the three states to gain more support than marijuana was John Kasich, although he was still lower than medical marijuana.
