“Four decades after President Richard Nixon ushered in the modern war on drugs, fewer than one out of 20 Americans think it is being won, according to a new poll. A Rasmussen Reports poll released on Sunday found that only 4% of respondents believe that the US is ‘winning’ the war on drugs. Some 82% said it is ‘losing.’ ‘Americans continue to overwhelmingly believe that the so-called war on drugs is failing, but they are more divided on how much the United States should be spending on it,’ Rasmussen concluded. The Rasmussen poll also revealed a public deeply divided over what to do about it.”
