The "Beyond the Beltway" report released by Democratic-affiliated Benenson Strategy Group and SKDKnickerbocker found 61 percent of Americans in favor of marijuana legalization and 72 percent in favor of decriminalization. The drug remains illegal under federal law. (See also: Could pot be a game changer in 2016?)
