California Gay Marriage Referendum May Lose

By Ed Brayton

Here's some good news.

Opposition to a California ballot measure to ban same-sex marriage is mounting following Attorney General Jerry Brown's move to change the language on the initiative, according to a Field Poll to be released today.

The poll found that just 38 percent of likely voters support the measure, while 55 percent intend to vote no. That compares with 42 percent in support and 51 percent opposed in July.

What will the bigots say then? They can't use that "unelected judges overruling the will of the people" line anymore, at least in that state. I hope, hope, hope that they vote down the amendment.
