Numbers Game
A new “historic” poll shows that 51% of California residents approve of gay marriage. That’s the first time in nearly three decades that a majority of the state has given a green light to same-sex nups. Before you get too excited, however, remember that last week 54% of voters said they would vote for an amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman. We’ve said if before and we’ll say it again: math is hard. [Mercury News]

The results you get depend on who is paying the pollster.

maybe residents aren’t the same as “likely voters”??? I used to do polls in college….
Most national polls are plus or minus 3%, so because both polls cover part of the same range of possible percentage points, they’re actually not statistically different and they basically say the same thing.
The people of California will uphold the sanctity of male-female marriage with civil unions permissible for gays. The country is not ready for gay marriage, and quite frankly, I don’t think the gay community as a whole is sufficiently mature to treat the privilege responsibly. I can just see all the twinks on meth running to a judge just to get hitched as a joke. Bottom line: The gay community as a whole is flaky, weird, and undeserving of special rights.
