I have been told that Mitchell Research & Communications, Inc. was very accurate in MI in 2000. Does anybody have their 2000 numbers?
"Were confident this is not representative of where voters are right now"
....um this survey doesn't have a +/- of 40 points sorry.
I don't care if gay couples get married, I just wish they would use the word Gender instead of Sex. I have known so many committed gay couples, together for 30+ years, living quietly, not mentioning that they are gay, not announcing it to the world, no agenda. They just want to be left alone. And this is a small southern Texas town. I really resent the heteros who get divorced and remarried, yet they think that is fine. I know two women who have gotten 6 divorces each! Everyone thinks someone else's sin is worse than their own.
Voter approval gives local folks say over whether a (non-Indian) casino can be built. The more casinos there are, the fewer bucks (theoretically) will be spent on the Lottery. I think the fact is, playing the Lottery will always be more convenient, and the more gambling that's around, the more people gamble. Also, gambling addiction should be lucrative as a widespread disorder -- not for the taxpayers, but for the people involved in therapy.Gambling vote may be headed for defeatThe state ballot proposal calling for voter approval of gambling expansion may be headed for defeat, thanks largely to an opposition TV ad campaign led by Gov. Jennifer Granholm.

The Proposal 1 constitutional amendment has been losing ground all week, a Detroit News tracking poll shows. Support dropped from 48 percent to 44 percent from Monday to Thursday, while opposition now stands at 38 percent, with 18 percent undecided.
Experts say that if a ballot proposal has less than 50 percent support this close to Election Day it likely will fail. Thats because late undecided voters typically break against ballot measures...
In the presidential race, incumbent George W. Bush leads Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry in Michigan, 47-42. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. Bushs lead wavered between 3 and 5 points during the week. Kerry will visit Macomb County on Monday, his first trip to the state since Sept. 15, in an attempt to shore up his support, while President Bush visits Michigan on Wednesday and Thursday.
Other recent polls showed Kerry with a small lead. For example, a Mason-Dixon poll has Kerry up 47-46, and a SurveyUSA poll has Kerry ahead 51-44.
Carroll Doherty, editor of the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, said the variance in the polls has been especially pronounced this year. He noted the Associated Press has Kerry ahead nationally by 3 points, Gallup had Bush up by 7 and Fox had Bush leading by 5 this week.
George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent
Homosexual Agenda Ping - Yet another defense of marriage state constitutional amendment, looking good, looking good. And it's gotta help GWB. I mean, what is Kerry for, in the marriage/"gay" rights arena?
Let me and Scripter know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.
Note to buffyt:
I have heard ad nauseum about people whose "gay" friends are monogamous, quiet, peaceloving, non-"gay" agenda promoting, Republican voting, just-like-regular-family types. Well, why don't they speak up against the radical "gay" agenda? Why don't they allow the truth to be told that there are thousands of ex-homosexuals? Why don't they speak up against the indoctrination of kids in schools by homosexual activists?
And normalizing homosexuality does not have the same ranking on the sin list as divorce.
Hogwash! Where'd they take this poll, a queer bar? I'd say that high a percentage of queers themselves don't believe in being able to get married. Not all of them are militant and in-your-face with their perversion and many actually recognize that their "lifestyle" IS perversion.
Michigan is hugh. If Bush pulls out Michigan, all he needs is Ohio OR Florida OR Minn/Wisc to reach 270+.
