New Poll Shows Maine Gay Marriage Vote Too Close to Call

A new Research 2000/Daily Kos poll in Maine suggests that the state’s marriage equality law would be repealed if the issue went to voters today. The survey of 600 likely voters between September 14 and 16 posed two questions pertaining to marriage equality, according to Daily Kos. In each instance, a greater percentage of respondents with a firm opinion chose an anti-equality position, although a pivotal percentage remained undecided. The first question asked whether respondents would vote yes or no on Question 1, the “people’s veto” on the November ballot that would repeal the marriage equality bill passed by legislators and signed into law by Gov. John Baldacci this spring. Full Story from the Advocate: http://www.advocate.com/News/Daily_News/2009/09/18/Poll__Gay_Marriage_Trailing_in_Maine/
