DETROIT (AP) — A new poll says likely Michigan voters support ballot proposals to expand stem cell research and legalize medical use of marijuana.

The phone poll for the Detroit Free Press and WDIV-TV shows people favoring the stem cell proposal 51 to 40 percent and the marijuana proposal 61 to 30 percent.

Selzer & Co. of Des Moines, Iowa, polled 616 people Tuesday through Friday. Results have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

An Oct. 26-28 poll of 600 likely voters by EPIC-MRA for The Detroit News and TV stations WXYZ, WILX, WOOD and WJRT found 46 percent backing the stem cell proposal and 44 percent opposed.

The marijuana proposal led 57 percent to 36 percent. Results also had a 4-point margin of error.
