Two polls released today show most voters support Referendum 74, Democrat Jay Inslee, Barack Obama and legalizing marijuana.

A poll conducted by SurveyUSA shows approval for Ref. 74 is at 52 percent, while 43 percent of likely voters say they reject the measure.

Next week Washington could be one of three states legalizing marijuana for recreational use.

Currently the use of medical marijuana is permitted in about one-third of the country, but advocates are hoping to get it a step further.
