Yep. Here's a good place to report a poll result, from the same survey Vorlon posted the Presidential results from...

Research & Polling Inc., 402 likely statewide voters, by telephone Aug. 27-Sept. 1, MOE +/- 5% [for both questions]

SAME SEX MARRIAGE:
Support or Oppose?
62% Oppose
28% Support
10% Undecided

NOTE! From the discussion of which groups backed and opposed gay marriage, I can infer that Hispanic working-class Democrats are the 'non-conservative' group which opposes gay marriage.

SAME SEX CIVIL-UNIONS:
Support or Oppose?
49% Oppose
44% Support
7% Undecided

No areas of the state gave majority support to gay marriage (closest were North-Central NM (38%) and Albuquerque Metro Area (37%)); North-Central NM (58%) and ABM (53%) gave majorities to civil unions. All those Dixiecrats in the east of NM really disliked both options: 81% Opposition to gay marriage and 67% Opposition to civil unions.

I've said it before and I repeat this: New Mexico is NOT a socially liberal state! Economically, perhaps, but NM is populist (L-econ/R-soc) at best.
Note:
1. Hispanic Social Conservatism is still going strong
2. The east may have 'Democrats', but they are States Rights Democrats. Smiley

Do any of the other choices top that for social conservatism?

Interesting WMS. Do you have figures for other states?
Do any states have a majority for gay marriage?

In Britain I think it was 38% for gay marriage and 61% for civil unions. It was much higher in the 18-35 age group.
In Canada I understand 57% were for gay marriage. Britain is obviously much more conservative than Canada!
