Gay Marriage Opposition in California Drops 5%

Research 2000. 8/9-8/12. Likely voters. MoE 4% (No trend lines) If you voted in the 2008 election last November did you vote for or against Proposition 8 which banned same-sex marriage? For 51 Against 45 Did not vote 4 As you may know the 2010 ballot may feature an initiative which if passed would allow for same-sex marriage in California. If you were voting today on such an initiative would you vote for or against allowing same-sex marriage in California? For 47 Against 48 Not sure 5 In the first question, "For" is against gay marriage, in the second, it's for it. In short, support for gay marriage is up 2 points, while opposition is down from 51 percent to 48 percent. That's a five point drop. For a ballot initiative that passed by a scant 4.48 points, that turns this effort into a toss-up. Full Story from the Daily Kos
