A strong majority of Americans, including most Republicans, support drug decriminalization, according to a new national poll released on Friday. There’s also majority support overall for allowing the operation of overdose prevention centers where people can use illicit substances in a medically supervised setting and receive treatment resources.
The survey from Data For Progress and the People’s Action Institute asked a wide range of questions about harm reduction proposals, finding that likely voters broadly support bold policy changes to address the overdose crisis.
