Minnesota, USA: Latest Polls Show Strong Democratic Support for Marriage Equality

Written by scott on September 15th, 2012

New York Gay Marriage PollWith the Star Tribune and MPR on the sidelines for now, only two major polling organizations have covered Minnesota’s marriage amendment: SurveyUSA and Public Policy Polling. For the first time this election season, both showed “Vote Yes” forces leading.

Rather than going down the rabbit hole of whether gay-marriage foes lie to pollsters (they didn’t in North Carolina this year), how did the polling numbers differ? Simply put, PPP showed much more unanimity among Democrats and a far wider gender gap. Here’s how Democrats responded to each survey:

SUSA: 62-30 No
PPP: 78-16 No

Put another way, Dems opposed the amendment 2:1 in the SUSA poll, and nearly 5:1 in PPP’s.
