Polls on Same-Sex Marriage State Laws

[Holmes]

That case will drag on until 2025.

My favourite part of polling threads are those that quickly jump onto the cross tabs - "TOO MUCH DEMOCRATS AND LIBERALS." lol like, who gives a frick.

In the Senate race in 2010, the Republicans nominatd a conservatives, so the McCainiacs refused to vote in that election.

What percent of the Colorado electorate are McCainiacs? Do they have much sway in statewide elections? How much voted for Bennet over Buck? Please cite!

They are a relatively small percentage of the voters in Republican party, given their repeated defeats in primaries there.

However, the Democrat Senator was elected (he had been appointed to the office) with less than half the vote case.

Please cite your sources!

Hmm, what has Branstad done to merit a -3 approval rating, I wonder.

[Holmes]

I don't believe it.

[Holmes]

Polling in Minnesota this far out doesn't matter to us now. All that matters is that it shows where each side has to work on to win.

[Holmes]

California 2000 vs California 2008 maybe? I dunno. Avert your eyes if you don't wanna see the "trend".

[Holmes]

This isn't a debate thread about same-sex marriage, to be honest. I expect new polls whenever I see there's a new post, not stupid arguments against the issue.

[Holmes]

Maybe. I don't think 69% of Montanans <29 years old are Democratic, or Democratic-leaning.

[Holmes]

Political Debate is 5 boards down. Please utilize it.

New Mexico numbers look better than I thought. 45 is probably the ceiling at the moment, though.

[Holmes]

No change.

[Holmes]

Constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage have continuously failed in the Wyoming Republican legislature. They're an interesting bunch. I don't think one would ever pass the legislature there.

[Holmes]

Maybe, but I don't think it plays that big a part.

[Holmes]

Pretty close in Washington, but then again, seems like it'll be close either way, huh? SUSA was good in Washington for R-74 two years ago, though. I feel like R-74 will need about a 10 point lead in the polls to win "comfortably".

[Holmes]

One poll debunking another poll from over a month ago. Thanks for you valuable contribution to this thread.

[Holmes]

Aroostook county is "Democratic" (rather, it seems more Republican than the state average more often than not) for different reasons than areas in Minnesota, though. Comparing them is silly.

[Holmes]

Always a Senate's fault, isn't it?

Not in Vermont, where it was very much the opposite,  New Hampshire (though it did seem like it was going to die after it was voted down in committee), Maine or California. And it's because of the Iowa State Senate that a constitutional amendment has never went to the polls.

I will believe it when I see it... let's hope that happens on Election Day after the NOMmers run their ads with little children coming home and telling their parents they learned about sodomy in school and want to become gay.

Mommy! Today in class I learned that I can be a princess and marry another boy!

[Holmes]

Those Florida, Ohio and Virginia numbers are too good to be true, not that it matters. Those states aren't on the radar for same-sex marriage (as horrible as that sounds). As for Minnesota, those numbers also might be too good to be true - silver lining being that approve has to be above 50% to actually pass. So as long as neither are above a majority, it's fine.

[Holmes]

On the bright side, it looks like the good guys will win in Maryland. It's leading 52-43 according to the Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/maryland-leans-toward-historic-embrace-of-same-sex-marriage-in-vote-next-month/2012/10/18/a91dedba-1885-11e2-9855-71f2b202721b_story.html

I don't think that's enough for it to pass. ftr, I have it winning in Maine and Washington, losing in Maryland and Minnesota.

[Holmes]

Gay Marriage now trails by 1 in MD:

47-46 illegal

Mostly because the Blacks switched over to the "illegal" side.

It begins.

[Holmes]

Yeah, guys. Calm down. Bad polls happen, although I'm inclined to believe the actual numbers are probably in the single digits everywhere rather than double digits that other polls show. Remember, SUSA is great in Washington and pretty much nailed R-71's numbers. They were even the only poll that initially had it much closer than the other polls. The only one I'm unhappy about is Maryland.

[Holmes]

Someone save his quotes.

[Holmes]

For when you're proven wrong, that is. Some people here delete their posts when that happens.

[Holmes]

How is same-sex marriage losing the battle, demographically? The burden of proof is on you to provide. The results from tonight prove otherwise.
