This is a non-scientific, informal poll, but interesting nonetheless:
Minnesotans do not appear willing to change the
state’s constitution to define marriage.
Of the record 12,549 people participating in the 2011
House of Representatives State Fair Poll, 66.5 percent
said the state constitution should not be amended to
define marriage as “only a union of one man and one
woman,” while 29.8 percent believe the constitution
should be changed. The question will be asked on the
November 2012 ballot.
Conducted by nonpartisan House Public Information
Services, the poll is an informal, unscientific survey of
issues discussed in prior legislative sessions and may
again be topics of discussion in 2012.
A bill vetoed by Gov. Mark Dayton in the 2011
session would have required voters to show a current,
government-issued picture ID before casting their
ballot. Of the people taking part in our poll, 50.8 percent
believe showing identification should be a requirement
to vote, while 46.4 percent do not. The numbers are a
considerable drop from previous year’s results. In 2010,
69.1 percent said yes; in 2008, 67 percent.
