Of the season I mock those people over at American Family Association. The poll linked here is now running very severely against them. When I just looked it was 2 to 1 against them, ha!

Opposed 32.53% (195955 votes)
Homosexual marriage 59.19% (356486 votes)
Civil unions 8.28% (49862 votes)

The opposed vote seems to have bottomed and is beginning to creep up again. This may in part be from the 'pro' groups having responded quickly, and now having exhausted available voters. Check it tomorrow evening and see how it looks then.

Nah, I think that was a temporary fluctuation. The numbers don't seem to be moving as much.

Opposed 32.30% (197371 votes) - Down just .23%, but still down.

Homosexual marriage 59.43% (363171 votes) - Up .24
Civil Unions 8.27% (50543 votes) - Down .01%

I think the poll may have found sort of a natural level or close to it for online voting. It seems to be about right with around twice as many people online (who care enough to vote) in favor of it as opposed.

That's one way in which I think the national polls are faulty. They don't tell us how opposed or in favor the two camps are.

Oh and HI! Pleased to meet'cha.

Here's your update. They are still down very slightly for the oppostition from when you posted. Not very much, and only in percentages. Both sides keep getting a few thousand votes a day it seems. I speculate in annother post that the poll may have found a sort of natural level for online polling.

Yeah, it seems to be settling.

The main page still says to vote and that they're sending the poll to Congress. I have my doubts though.
