Iowa Voters Oppose Gay Marriage Repeal,

 

OnTopMag reports that a ballot question that would repeal a gay marriage law in Iowa would narrowly fail, a new poll released Sunday found.

The Des Moines Register asked 800 adults how they would vote on a proposed amendment to the Iowa Constitution that would define marriage as a heterosexual union, thereby reversing the 2009 Iowa Supreme Court ruling that brought the institution to the Midwest.

Thirty-eight percent of respondents said they would vote against the question, while 35 percent favored amending the constitution, and 27 percent said they wouldn't even vote. That's a 6 percent drop in support for the proposed amendment since an earlier poll conducted in September.

“You just have this spider web of mixed-up attitudes on this,” said J. Ann Selzer, the poll's director. “The rhetoric is so polarizing that you forget there's a middle on this and it's probably the middle that would make the difference.”
