Poll shows slim majority opposes Prop 8

[ruggerson]

Just two days after the state Supreme Court ruled that Proposition 8 would remain on the November ballot, a new statewide survey indicates that 51 percent of likely voters intend to vote no on the initiative.

The Field Poll, released July 18, also showed 42 percent would vote yes, while only 7 percent were undecided. Along with the promising numbers of those opposed to Prop 8, the survey also indicates there's still work to be done.

This is the second Field Poll since late May that has shown a slim majority of Californians support same-sex marriage.

"It's another encouraging indicator that we can defeat this attack on our families and the constitution in California," said Evan Wolfson, executive director of the national group Freedom to Marry.

1. That's great news!

Very encouraging.

All they need is a simple majority of voters to defeat the constitutional amendment, and this leg of our journey will be over. Then it will be on to the federal courts (which admittedly may not be a good thing).
