He notes that the numbers have moved -- ever so slightly -- in the direction of the initiaitve since a previous survey. (One note: the movement is within the poll's margin of error). He also offers an interesting historical tidbit: back in 2002, the Field Poll significantly underestimated support for Prop 22, the successful 2000 initiative that added a ban on gay marriage into state law. It was Prop 22 that was overturned by the California Supreme Court in May. The new initiative would place a ban on gay marriage in the state constitution.</p> http://nafonline.net/blog/blockbuster-democracy/2008/prop-8-supporters-spin-back-field-poll-5280#comments Blockbuster Democracy Ballot Initiative Field Poll Frank Schubert Gay Marriage Initiative Same Sex Marriage Sat, 19 Jul 2008 17:36:00 -0400 Joe Mathews 5280 at http://nafonline.net/blog
