This Gay Marriage Poll Shows An Incredible Shift In Black Support Since Obama's Endorsement
Business Insider ^ | 05/24/2012 | Brett LoGiurato

Public Policy Polling is out with a new survey this morning on the gay marriage referendum likely to be on the Maryland ballot this fall

It's historic, because it shows that Maryland is likely to pass—by a wide margin—the referendum holding up the bill that lawmakers passed in late February. It's incredible because of the shift in previous polls, particularly among black voters in Maryland. 

Check out this flip: In March, 56 percent of black respondents said they would vote against the law, with only 39 percent supporting it. Now, 55 percent of black voters plan to support it, with only 36 percent opposing it.

That's a 36-point swing in two months.

Public Policy Polling

It shows the effect that a string of recent endorsements is having on voters, first from President Obama before other politicians and groups followed suit

But I thought the PCGOP said that if they just pander enough and go far enough left, they can appeal to the “fundamentally conservative” values of minority voters...

Sounds like Obama is providing ‘leadership’ to the black community. Since 2008 I have been astonished at how the black church is black first, Christian second.

Black voters do whatever their Black President tells them to do? Nothing else matters? Just skin color?

I’m a stupid, born-and-bred, white Southerner: I thought America had gotten past that.

It will fail by the same margins in the other 32 states and they will not say anything about it when it does.

Because of that they are on the broad path to apostasy and damnation.

Maryland must find a way to reverse the polling numbers on the gay marriage referendum or if they can’t, the referendum on gay marriage should be cancelled and sent to a conservative federal court.

If Maryland does pass the Gay Marriage referendum, we need a full boycott of the state, which would include athletes refusing to play for or against the Baltimore Orioles and Baltimore Ravens.

No travel on business or pleasure to Maryland.

A complete boycott of all companies that conduct business in Maryland or have employees in Maryland.

What further proof you need Obama is the Moses and Jesus of our time. He writes a new commandment from the balcony of the White House, Thou Shall Bless Gay Marriage, and his followers sing Amen in unison.

You are correct. The only thing that has changed is that black respondents to the poll are more reluctant to tell the truth now that President Obama has endorsed it.

For the Lemming Class, when the issue is Morals vs. Free Stuff, then Free Stuff wins every time.

If ObaMao declared he favored naked flagpole sitting, then naked flagpole sitting would instantly become popular among the Lemming Class.

The ALL Black Democrat Churches are NON Christian, this is not new, but now they can no longer pretend.

It`s a crying shame because they come from a rich tradition of Christianity,aside from the last 40 years or so.

It was clear they were NON Christian after going along with 60 million + abortions, and with no remorse for removal of Christ/prayer from classroom/Public square etc.

They have been feigning outrage over the possibility of gay marriage over the years, but the fact that they are caving on this last Christian issue is No surprise whatsoever.

The black Church (Democrat Black Church) gave up on Christ and Christianity some years ago, now it is clear for all to see. The black Democrat Church is just a social club, no wonder their children have been imprisoned etc more than the rest.

If they had been Christian, if they had the Spirit of Christ within them, they would have been WEEPING with us for the unborn, but they could care less, and now it is clear to ALL that they have no problem with young children being taught they can have a boyfriend or a girlfriend.

They have No worries about what Jesus said, If anybody harms one of these little ones.....

Catholic Democrats also have blood on their hands, other groups as well
