Jefferson City, MO (LifeNews.com) -- A new poll shows that support for Amendment 2, the Missouri measure that would have the state support human cloning and embryonic stem cell research, is dropping fast. The level of support has dropped from more than a 2-1 margin to less than 10 percent. According to a new Survey USA poll released Tuesday, just 45 percent of Missouri voters say they plan to vote for Amendment 2 while 36 percent will vote against it and another 18 percent are undecided.
That's a huge difference from the last survey the polling firm did just two weeks ago.
On October 12, Survey USA had Amendment 2 ahead by a 57-27 percent margin with 16 percent undecided.
No publicly released poll by any nationally recognized polling firm has ever had support for Amendment 2 below 52%, and it has been as high as 64% in favor in a January 2006 Research 2000 poll conducted for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and KMOV-TV, and a similar 62% in favor in a June 2006 Research 2000 poll.
The new results show that pro-life advocates have a chance to knock off what many worry would be a harbinger of things to come across the nation as other states look to replicate Missouri's support for the grisly practices.
The latest poll found men favoring the human cloning initiative by a 45-39 percent margin and women backing it 46-34.
Missouri residents in the 35-49 age category oppose it while other age-ranges favored the initiative, but the poll is the first to show any age category opposing the measure.
The poll also finds white and black residents split along the same lines, Republicans slightly opposing it while Democrats more strongly favor the measure, and supporters of pro-life Sen. Jim Talent oppose the human cloning proposal while backers of pro-abortion candidate Claire McCaskill favor it.
Missourians in the central part of the state oppose the measure while Ozark residents are split and Kansas City and St. Louis residents slightly favor it...
No doubt Sean, Rush and Levin are having a big impact.
Too bad Missourians are not as dumb as Democrats.
Watch it erode even further after the anti-cloning ad airs during the World Series.
Good.
Fox's Fault!
Maybe it would lose more support if they said:
"Missouri Embryo Destruction and Human-Cloning Amendment Losing Support"
Theree's gonna' be one hell of a trainwreck come Nov. 7
As I admonished a Lib earlier today, I thanked him for the opportunity to get the word out within our LLC about the 72-0 success record of Adult Stem Cell research (including treating Parkinson's!), versus the bleak, tumor-producing track record of ESC.
Theree's = There's...
(If I do this correctly, the link appears.)
There is so much wrong with this amendment that it is not even necessary to mention the "embryonic life" argument. Please have friends and family in Missouri read the amendment on the SOS website. I am confident that if Missouri voters KNOW what they're voting on, they will defeat Amendment 2.
--I suppose the St. Louis precincts will wait to see how many votes they need to steal to put it over the rest of the state---along with whatever other Demotraitor issues--

Funding embryonic stem cell research with taxpayers money is really just a waste, since results from these type of cells have been so disappointing. The only promising research has been from adult T cells, which can be harvested from the patient.
We don't need to create more government funded waste. There's plenty of that already. You'd think Michael J. Fox would be more up to speed about this research. Either he isn't very bright, or he's deceiving people for political reasons.
To be fair: or he is a man desperate for his life and will grasp at anything, even the foolish...
