Survey USA has a new poll out today putting the race for Proposition 8, California's amendment to ban same-sex marriage, at 47-42. Under two weeks ago, SUSA had the No campaign winning by 5 points. CBS, which funded the poll, shows that the Yes campaign's wins were mostly among young voters.

Internal polling released by the No campaign today (performed by Lake Research Partners) also shows that the gays are behind in a poll of likely voters, 47-43. The poll was conducted last week....

But the No campaign says that they're worried about complacency in the LGBT community. "We're going to lose this election if we do not raise the money we need to get on the airwaves," said Equality California executive director Geoff Kors. "The community is very complacent and thinks we're just going to win and that's it."

We need to get money to them fast and be sure to let everyone you know to get off their butts and work hard to defeat this measure.

1. young voters?

obama's base? He needs to address this, he cannot (IMHO) keep on letting this slide by ignoring it...

4. The GLBT community has asked several times - I dont think its going to happen more than

what he has already said.

13. Obama and Biden *HAVE* addressed this, and they're on the *WRONG* side of the issue!

They both oppose equal marriage, although they
Support the artful dodge of "civil unions".

2. "...also shows that the gays are behind in a poll..." WTF kind of writing is that?

If this vote is about gay vs. non-gay, gay people will lose since there are fewer of us.

If this vote is about equal rights, then the quote makes no sense whatsoever.

3. That quote is from the blog - not the campaign n/t
