Those are comparatively very good numbers for African-American Democrats.

I wonder how it is doing in Deleware and Illinois.

This is what I assume at this point-

red- favor gay marriage
blue- oppose gay marriage
dark blue- majority antiabortion
90% blue- a personhood amendment might have enough votes
yellow- favor gay marriage, majority antiabortion




Though what's interesting is that support for gay marriage is now more or less as prevalent as antiabortion sentiment. And though there has been uptick of this Conservative Humanist (basically Huckabee if he wasn't a closet case)  view of being pro-gay and antiabortion, its still the norm to just accept that the law is the law.



If Cook County really has real liberals in it, support for gay marriage now surpassed 270 EVs.

Yeah but there hasn't been any new polls for them yet. I do expect this year's events will shift Washington more in favor.

New Washington numbers:

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

Legal...............................................................49%
Illegal ..............................................................44%
Not sure ..........................................................7%

If there was a referendum on the new law
legalizing same-sex marriage, would you vote
to uphold the law, or would you vote to repeal
it?

Would vote to uphold the law..........................50%
Would vote to repeal it ....................................46%
Not sure .........................................................4%

WA PPP results from May 2011: 46% legal, 44% illegal, 10% not sure

Iowa (Selzer):

A majority of Iowans oppose passage of a state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, a new Des Moines Register Iowa Poll shows.

The poll found that 38 percent favor a legislative initiative to pass a constitutional amendment, while 56 percent are against. Six percent aren’t sure.

The findings show little movement on the issue from February 2011, when 40 percent of those surveyed supported passing an amendment, while 54 percent were opposed.

I wonder if this issue is sufficiently polarized that the Iowa question might function as a decent proxy for gauging support of legal SSM.

In other words, I'm wondering if we should put it on the map.

While there is a significant "Bradley effect" in gay marriage polling (like I pointed out earlier), I wonder if gay marriage opponents might have to switch their strategy in blue states to ballot measures which simultaneously legalize civil unions and ban gay marriage.

That would have the added incidental benefit of providing Romer fodder for the idea that gay marriage opponents have nothing better to do than just pick over semantics to create artificial hierarchies for no rational reason.

New Maine numbers:

In general, do you think same-sex marriage should be legal or illegal?

Legal...............................................................54%
Illegal ..............................................................41%
Not sure ..........................................................5%

Do you favor a law allowing marriage licenses
for same-sex couples that protects religious
freedom by ensuring no religion or clergy be
required to perform such a marriage in violation
of their religious beliefs?

Yes - 47%
No - 32%
Not sure - 21%

ME PPP results from October 2011: 51% legal, 42% illegal, 8% not sure
ME PPP results from March 2011: 47% legal, 45% illegal, 8% not sure

It appears that the following states haven't passed gay marriage or banned it by constitutional amendment:

Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
Delaware
West Virginia
Illinois
Indiana
New Mexico
Wyoming

Any particular reason why these states haven't acted on it.

NC and MN have a ban on the ballot this year.
NJ legislature passed gay marriage, but was vetoed.

Delaware and Illinois legalized civil unions recently.

West Virginia and New Mexico are probably examples of Democratic controlled legislatures stalling, but not trying to pass anything for fear of voter retaliation (WV) or divided party control (NM).

PA is probably just an issue of a divided electorate and maybe it's difficult to do initiatives there?

RI is in the process of legalizing same-sex marriage, but the Senate president or House president keeps blocking it.

Wyoming tried to pass an amendment to ban it, but it failed somewhere in the legislature.

No idea what's going on in Indiana.

I highly doubt gay marriage would pass in WV even if legislators voted their conscience.

LOL!!!

Push poll commissioned by homosexual activists. Even the far-left Post says its the "rosiest" picture yet, as normal polls have this 50-50.

OF COURSE ITS ROSY! It's a push poll.

Got to love that spin. Goes to show that PPP is nothing more than a propaganda outfit.
