[Alcon]

And, for a laugh, Bush approval among military members.  In states marked with an asterisk (*), the approval is actually lower than his general approval.

Alabama*: -14%
California: -33%
Iowa: -38%
Kansas: -15%
Kentucky: -21%
Massachusetts*: -58%
Minnesota: -37%
Missouri: -14%
New Mexico: -24%
New York: Not asked
Ohio: -24%
Oregon: -23%
Virginia: -28%
Washington: -36%
Wisconsin: -17%

Ouch.

Yeah. this is kinda funny. He's getting raped. Though gay marriage hasn't changed...CURSE YOU EMINEM... there appears to be changes with abortion...overturning Roe looks more and more like a bad idea for the GOP.

Gay marriage hasn't changed since when?  The last few months, not really.  But the turn-around since even 15 years ago is quite impressive, especially in the less religious states.

I really wish they'd poll EVERY state, though.  And also, an Iraq approval/disapproval poll would be nice.  The global warming question continues to be boring and lame every month, and gun ownership isn't much fun either.

I find it hard to believe that New York leans against making gay marriage leagal.

Gay marriage hasn't really changed since 2003.

Gay marriage hasn't really changed since 2003.

Hard to tell...some polls say it's jumped from 30% to 38%, other polls from 38% to 39% or so.  The trendline is up, but individual polls are jumpy.  But the trendline is only impressive over the last 10-15 years.  The real change has been in ballot initiative results.  The Arizona and South Dakota results were impressive.

I find it hard to believe that New York leans against making gay marriage leagal.

I find it hard to believe Kerry beats the issue in every state.  I also find it deplorable.

Well, only time will tell. CO was supposed to be the first state legalize homosexual unions by ballot. The dems should concentrate on solidifing their conquests and then try again in '10. '08 is too risky.
