Thanks for the explanation.

Here's some info from your same Field Poll. Note that in passing Prop 22 in 2000, 61% of voters opposed same sex marriage, yet Field would probably have been reporting somewhere in the low 50s in the same year. Not much has changed since 2003. Their polls are definitely slanted in favor of the liberal agenda.

Today in CA, I suspect if only whites were allowed to vote on Prop 22, the anti-gay marriage ban would fail. perserving Prop 22 would depned on support from blacks and latinos.
