Last week brought some hopeful news from The Washington Poll, as posted to their web site at WashingtonPoll.org
In a survey administered as part of a non-partisan, academic research project under Dr. Matt Barreto, a political science professor at with the Washington Institute for the Study of Ethnicity, Race & Sexuality (WISER) at the University of Washington. From October 14th to 26th, a total of 724 registered voters were interviewed from a randomly selected list phone numbers, yielding in a 3.6% margin of error. Among those who had already voted, 55% reportedly approving Referendum 71, compared with 45% against. Although heartening, these results absolutely do NOT guarantee a positive result for those who support civil rights, as the only poll that matters takes place in election offices across the state tomorrow evening.
Students of California's Proposition 8 last year may remember that they had good poll results as well, before a sudden influx of money from various right-wing churches and a bittersweet, hope-crushing defeat.
Please be certain that your ballot is properly marked, submitted and counted to approve Referendum 71.
