According to data gathered by Yahoo during the company's Ask America online survey, more than 8 million responses were recorded overall. With regard to Prop 19, 133,000 online "votes" were cast on the question of whether marijuana should be legal. In Yahoo's survey, a slightly higher number of responses favored marijuana legalization.
Clearly, this is one of the more controversial topics that arose around the U.S. midterm elections. But Yahoo also tracked other popular issues from the U.S. political landscape -- from Tea Party antics to immigration and healthcare.
When it comes to right wing-left wing bickering, 72% of Yahoo's respondents said the political discourse had reached an unnatural level of animosity. However, 61% said they were not too worried about Tea Partiers steering Congress in a radically right direction.
Around 75% of respondents actually favored Arizona's controversial and conservative new immigration laws, saying they'd approve of such measures in their home states. And 65% said they wanted the U.S.'s newly passed healthcare laws to remain in effect.
