GONNA' GET MARRIED

Prop 8 which seeks to ban gay marriages is slipping further behind in the polls.

It must come from Brad Pitt's giving us 100,000 yesterday. Thanks Brad.

Actually, it comes from the fact that people here realize that marriage is a fundamental right that should be enjoyed (or not) by all. Go, California. I have had the honor and privilege of living in the two states that include me in their embrace.

This is kinda badly written but you will get it if you stick with it.

A ballot initiative that would end same-sex marriage in California continues to face significant opposition among likely voters, a new poll indicates.

A Field Poll survey released today found that 38 percent of likely voters support Prop. 8. In July, 42 percent of those surveyed backed the measure.

Fifty-five percent of likely voters oppose Prop. 8, an increase from 51 percent who opposed it in July. The percentage of undecided voters remains at 7 percent.

The shifting numbers in today's poll seem to reflect, in part, the effects of changes made to the measure's ballot title and summary by Attorney General Jerry Brown earlier this summer.

Prop. 8's title initially was "Limit on Marriage." Its summary described the initiative as providing that only marriages between a man and a woman would be "valid or recognized in California."

The Field Poll is one of the most reputable polls in the country even though they normally only work on California issues.
