BOSTON — Results of a new poll released this week may shed light on the direction voters will go regarding a series of November ballot questions, and the results do not bode well for charter school proponents and opponents of marijuana legalization.
The survey, conducted last week by the MassINC Polling Group in conjunction with WBUR Boston Public Radio, found that while 41 percent of respondents supported lifting the state's cap on charter schools, 48 percent are opposed, with 11 percent undecided. The survey also found that 50 percent support the legalization of marijuana, compared to 45 percent who oppose it and 5 percent who are undecided.
