The roundhead right’s anti-gay constitutional amendment doesn’t seem to be gaining traction in Michigan. Polls tend to under-estimate hostility to gay marriage (people feel a little ashamed of their prejudices when talking to pollsters) but it’s striking to me that in the latest Michigan polls, the ban on gay marriage is currently losing:
Among likely voters, 51 percent said they would vote against such a ban, while just 45 percent said they would support it. Among registered voters, 51 percent were opposed and 44 percent said they would support it, the poll found.
Maybe this stuff will backfire in a few places. Here’s hoping.
