New Washington State Poll: 51% Would Keep Domestic Partner Law, 44% Would Repeal It

A poll released on Tuesday showed that the vote in Washington on Referendum 71, the measure to approve the state’s domestic partnership law, is going to be extremely close, with a narrow margin of respondents saying they would pass the measure. The poll by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research asked 569 likely voters in the November election if they would approve or reject Referendum 71. According to The Stranger, 51% of respondents said they would approve it, 44% said they would reject it, and 5% were undecided. The tight margin could reflect the more conservative turnout of an off-year election, the specificity of the ballot language, or effective rhetoric from Referendum 71 opponents.
