Attitudes on Spanking by state

[Jeff_NH]

While I certainly think it would be a stretch to say that these results are due to the libterarian leanings of New Hampshire or the influence of the Free State Project, I thought this was some interesting data (though we clearly all need to do better).

 

 

 

The following data is taken from a High Point University poll.

 

Do you approve or disapprove of spanking children?

 

 

	Likely N.C. Voters	Likely Colo. Voters	Likely N.H. Voters
Approve	75 percent	50 percent	37 percent
Disapprove	21 percent	35 percent	46 percent
(Don’t know/refused)	4 percent	16 percent	17 percent

Likely voters – Marijuana legalization

Which comes closer to your view about the use of marijuana by adults?

	Likely N.C. Voters	Likely Colo. Voters	Likely N.H. Voters
Personal use	31 percent	43 percent	36 percent
Medicinal use	45 percent	34 percent	40 percent
Should not be legal	22 percent	19 percent	21 percent
(Don’t know/refused)	2 percent	4 percent	2 percent

Likely voters – Gun rights

Which of these would lead to less violent crime in the United States: If guns were banned or more law-abiding people had guns?

	Likely N.C. Voters	Likely Colo. Voters	Likely N.H. Voters
