Gay marriage gets less popular with every court victory
Poll shows opposition growing to gay marriage.
"Opposition to gay marriage has grown since midsummer, with 32 percent favoring it and 59 percent opposing it, according to a poll released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.
"In a previous poll by the center, conducted in July, 38 percent approved and 53 percent disapproved.
"...Political attitudes sharply affected beliefs about gay marriage, the poll indicated. Four in five of those who said they would vote to reelect President Bush oppose gay marriage, while those who said they favor a Democrat for president are evenly split."
This looks like a lose-lose issue for the Dems. Their voters are split and the Bush voters oppose.
Gays make up less than five percent of the population. Among gays it is likely that only a minority think this is an important issue. Traditionally gay relationships have tended to be promiscuous. When gays have to start buying a house for someone they do not like anymore, the romance of having a "marriage" will quickly fade.
