Interesting examples. Some, like the MJ laws, are currently being implemented, one state at a time.

Others, like term limits, are things that lots of people are in favor of in theory, but not willing to implement in practice. Remember, "term limits" always means "all of you people should get rid of your representatives--but our guy is OK, so he should stay". And people don't want to pay for the programs they do want...

Still, there are some that a majority of those polled do seem to want. But evidently not enough of them want them enough to vote specifically on those issues.
