Some people on a pro-gay kick today are touting a new Annenberg Poll which shows the public opposing the FMA 41% to 48%. On the face of it, this would appear to be bad news for advocates.

What they leave out (purposefully, I'm sure) is the second half of the poll which asked the same sample, "Would you [favor/oppose] a law in your state that would allow gays and lesbians to marry a partner of the same sex?"

The result was this: 64% opposed, 30% in favor. That's amendment-ratifying territory, especially when you consider that youth are nearly evenly split when polled, but make up a much smaller percentage of voters than they do of all adults.
