Polls on Same-Sex Marriage State Laws

[krazen1211]

Studies indicate that polls significantly overstate public support for 'gay marriage."

Yes, of course. All the polling in the universe does not address or reflect the actual performance of homosexuality at the ballot box.

Minnesota is now very, very unlikely to approve SSM in November, says a new SurveyUSA poll:

52% for the man/woman marriage amendment
37% against
  5% won't vote
  6% not sure

GOP: 75-12 support
DEM: 54-38 oppose
IND: 48-42 support

Washington is a different story though, also by SurveyUSA:

"A new law passed by the legislature would allow same-sex couples to marry in Washington state. Should this law be approved? Or rejected?"

50% Approve
43% Rejected

Ha. That debunks PPP's gutter trash poll from about a month ago.

Why do you care?

Mr. Nathan, sir, there is something to be said about the merit of discrediting pollsters that have an obvious dubious agenda and that do not seek to represent the people.

I mean about this issue, not about PPP. For that matter, why are 'the people' terribly relevant to you on those issues and seemingly only on those issues in which the most superficially populist argument is one that happens to support the right-wing position?

These are, you'll understand, rhetorical questions. I, at least, know exactly why you care, and exactly why you think 'the people' have a moral leg to stand on here.

These are the issues that have put to a direct vote of the people. 30 some thing times, in fact, with an extraordinary amount of success.

And on this particular issue, the special interest groups that has lost 30 times frequently react in a unprofessional manner. Unlike most issues which go to a vote of the people, these special interests do not seem to show the proper respect!


What I find to be funny, though, is on issues that Nathan might claim majority support, such as increasing taxes, the people have not shown much support for such taxes at the ballot box in states such as Washington and California.

July 2012 Wisconsin poll:

Do you think same-sex marriage should be legal or illegal?

Legal ............................................................... 43%
Illegal .............................................................. 47%
Not sure .......................................................... 10%

http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2011/PPP_Release_WI_072012.pdf

We already know that Wisconsin has voted 59% against this policy. PPP is cooking the books!

We also know that Wisconsin voted 56% for Barack Obama, so I guess there's no need to hold a second election there. Look at all the money we can save taxpayers by assuming public opinion is set in stone and never changes!

That would be a valid point if Barack Obama's opponent in 2012 was John McCain.

These fresh polls quite clearly show that Barack Obama has attacked his own religion as well as the people's values.
