Poll: Legalizing pot won’t boost economy

? Few people see legalized marijuana as a way to boost the economy and create jobs, according to an Associated Press-CNBC poll.

About a quarter of those polled said legalized pot would lead to more jobs in their communities; 57 percent said there would be no effect. About a third think the economy would improve, while 46 percent foresee no impact.

People under 30, the group most apt to favor legalization, were most likely to see pot as a way to help the economy.

If marijuana were decriminalized, more Americans favor private businesses selling it (54 percent) than the government (36 percent).
