Normally, I could care less about polls, but when Gallup is conducting one that includes legalization, it’s worth taking a look at. According to their October Crime poll, 44% of Americans are down with making weed legal while 54% oppose. These represent the most favorable numbers in the past four decades and as Gallup notes, “If public support were to continue growing at a rate of 1% to 2% per year, as it has since 2000, the majority of Americans could favor legalization of the drug in as little as four years.” Godspeed! The poll also indicates that liberals, Democrats, and people out West are more supportive than their stuffy counterparts. Click through the colorfully informative results above. |Gallup|

It's "I couldn't care less", not "I could care less"! This is one of the most infuriating mistakes that so many writers make.
Think about it logically: you're trying to staying that you do not care about polls, that they are of no importance to you. If you "could care less", this implies that you actually care a bit about them, but could care a little bit less if needs be.
That is not what you are trying to say here. You need to say that you "couldn't care less", because this implies that they are of absolute zero importance to you.
Normally I wouldn't correct grammar mistakes like this, but the increasing prevalence of "could care less" is my main bugbear.
Dude, smoke a doob and chill out.
