The utterly astonishing poll numbers on the anti gay amendment in NC [View All]

In 2008, Californians over 65 split 61 to 39 in favor of prop 8. In North Carolina a bare majority oppose the NC amendment. That is an improvement of about 11 points. In 2008, African Americans voted at least 60 to 40 in favor of prop. 8. In North Carolina they are splitting 61 to 39 against the amendment. That is an improvement of 20 points. Yes, prop 8 is far less restrictive than the proposition being considered in North Carolina but folks, we are talking about the state that reelected Jesse Helms in 1996. I am still skeptical about these numbers on some level but we have now seen three polls with similar results. If we were to actually defeat this at the polls in NC it would be the shot heard round the country. These numbers suggest we might well. Overall we are at 55 to 30 in our favor with 15 undecided.
