CHICAGO (Reuters) - For a third straight year, a majority of Americans has expressed support for making marijuana use legal, with younger people, Democrats and political independents most likely to favor legalization, a Gallup poll released on Wednesday found.

In the nationwide survey of 1,015 adults, conducted by telephone from Oct. 7 to Oct. 11, 58 percent of respondents backed legal marijuana use.

The findings maintained the upward trend of support for legalization documented over the past half century. Only 12 percent favored legalization in 1969, Gallup said.

In 2013, a majority, also 58 percent, for the first time backed marijuana legalization, Gallup said. Support for marijuana legalization stood at 51 percent in Gallup's poll last year.
