There is also a difference between blacks and Hispanics, Hispanics and Asians, Asians and Arabs. But white Democrats see them as one big monolithic plantation.
Zogby, talk about a discredited polling firm. In this case number is not surprising. The gay marriage ballot measures that all lost prior to last cycle was being held back in many cases by African Americans. Since Obama evolved on the issue though many AA’s have also begun to say it is ok now. So many do not believe it is civil rights but it does not really matter because the largest swing demographics in the last year has been AA’s and they are now for it and picking up supporters everyday.
This is a done deal. Even if court does not rule on equal protection this time they will have no choice but to take a case within 2 years and will have to rule. I think if forced Kennedy for sure is a yes and Roberts at that point may join.
What worries me most of all accepting this will be the law of the land soon this could be a wedge issue in the mid terms. You know republicans hate everyone and everything. With this issue up front it will be pushed. Polling shows it has does resonate.
Since it is only a matter of time might be better if courts rule against republicans to get the issue off the table. I know fight to the end but I see no way this will not eventually be law of the land.
You wouldn’t know that from their voting records.
