New Maine Poll Shows 50% for Gay Marriage, 41% Against

Democracy Corps (D) (PDF). 9/23-27. Registered voters. MoE ~3.5% (No trend lines) Now let me ask something else. One of the questions on the ballot this November will read as follows: "Do you want to reject the new law that lets same-sex couples marry and allows individuals and religious groups to refuse to perform these marriages?" - If the election were held today, would you vote YES or NO on this question? Yes strongly 37 Yes not strongly 4 No not strongly 7 No strongly 43 Yes 41 No 50 Remember, a "Yes" vote is AGAINST gay marriage, while a "No" vote is FOR it. Kind of confusing. This is a poll of registered voters. (Our poll two weeks ago was of "likely voters"). So don't get too complacent or pleased with the results. This is a best-case scenario if everyone came out and voted. We know the real world doesn't work that way.
