BOSTON – The debate over marijuana legalization has been picking up steam locally but gaining attention nationally, as activists on both sides of the issue consider the possibility that the leafy greens may soon be legal in all six New England states.
Two New England States – Massachusetts and Maine – will more than likely let the voters decide whether to legalize marijuana in November. The other four – Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, and New Hampshire – are considering legislation that would legalize the substance.
NEW YORK – Ted Cruz pulled ahead of Donald Trump in a national survey published late Wednesday by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal, marking the first time in months that the New York billionaire and former reality TV star hasn't topped the results of a nationwide voter poll.
Cruz, a Texas Senator, was the choice of 28 percent while Trump had 26 percent, the poll shows. The survey of 800 registered voters has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points, which suggests the two are locked in a dead heat. The results among 400 likely Republican primary voters had a margin of error of almost 5 percentage points.
