"Some people, when they don't know what something is, want to ban it," says Reason-Rupe polling director Emily Ekins. "Other people, if they don't know what something is, they think it should be allowed unless it's causing someone harm in some way. And this question really delineates who those individuals are that favor choice and favor prohibition."
