I am not at all sure that this slight preference is irreversible.

Since preferences trended to legalization under the current laws, the current laws seem very unlikely to effect a reversal.

In fact, the trend seems to be going in the other direction.

These polls typically have a statistical margin of error of several percent; a small one-time apparent reversal of a decades-long trend is most likely statistical noise.

Well, those preferences, indeed, "trended to legalization" in two states in 2012--Colorado and Washington state--but not in the other 48...
