I had to do some internet searching to find what poll they are talking about. I was concerned because there are so many more no-on-8 ads on tv, thanks to Hollywood money, and the entire left wing power structure in the state is attacking prop 8 night and day with free sympathetic media. The local news channel just said most of the money for prop 8 is coming from out of state interests like the Knights of Columbus and the Mormon Church. Truth is 99% of the Mormon money is coming from California citizens. It’s the no on 8 getting far more big bucks from out of state and foreign contries.
Turns out the internal polls of the Yes on 8 campaign show a dead heat 48-48 but the campaign manager is very optimistic for two reasons:
1) traditional marriage initiatives do on average 7% better on election day than polls indicate because some people are reluctant to tell pollsters they support it.
2) One of the largest get out the vote efforts ever, with up to 100,000 people, will make sure our supporters get to the polls.
