http://pamshouseblend.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=7071The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that ever since California Attorney General Jerry Brown changed the language that will appear on the November ballot for Prop 8, the number of likely voters who now support the measure has shrank while the those who oppose the measure has grown -- and that changed language is having some impact on why that's happening (emphasis added):
The poll found that just 38 percent of likely voters support the measure, while 55 percent intend to vote no. That compares with 42 percent in support and 51 percent opposed in July.
Brown amended the Proposition 8 summary language after the state Supreme Court's decision on May 15 to overturn California's previous ban on same-sex marriage.
