MN Poll Shows 55% Oppose Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment

A poll has been released which shows that the proposed "Son of Prop 8" constitutional amendment in Minnesota to ban marriage equality is facing majority opposition 55% against, 39% for. Although this is encouraging news, I    would remind folks that early in the Proposition 8 fight there were multiple polls showing 55+ percent opposition to Proposition 8 and after a public advertising campaign filled with lies and deceit the ballot measure passed 53-47 in California in November 2008.

The more important poll question in Minnesota is whether a majority of likely voters supports marriage equality, if they do, and a good campaign is run, then there's a chance (small one, I believe) of defeating the proposed discriminatory amendment to Minnesota's constitution at the ballot in 2012.
