Polling is sketchy on the issue (it always is), but it certainly looks possible that recreational marijuana legalization has a good shot of winning, in all five states. In fact, the loss in California became a case study for legalization advocates in other states for "what not to do." The California legalization advocates certainly learned their lesson from the Prop 19 loss. If all five states pass legalization, then fully one-fourth of all Americans will live in states with legal weed. Once the normalization of legalization further sinks in with the public, the arc of history will have already bent.
