Recent Poll Shows 82% of Americans Believe that the US is Losing the War on Drugs

[Care]

Americans continue to overwhelmingly believe the so-called war on drugs is failing, but they are more divided on how much the United States should be spending on it.

Just four percent (4 %) of American Adults believe the United States is winning the war on drugs, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Eighty-two percent (82 %) disagree. Another 13 % are undecided.

Yet more evidence that the approach being taken to stop drug use must change. I predict that the administration will have a proposal ready in a month or so at the latest.
