A new poll shows Maine voters are split on Question 1, with 48% against a gay marriage repeal and 48% for. A previous poll has shown the "No" votes leading by several percentage points.
This almost mirrored the Prop. 8 polls leading up the election. Most of the time it was neck-and-neck, but we lost on Election day by several percentage points, leading some to believe that some "yes" people lied to pollsters to hide their bigotry. Would the same story play out this time in Maine? Let's hope not.
My personal opinion is that we win no matter we win in Maine or not. If we win in Maine, that's a clear sign that public opinion is turning to our favor. If we lose, it'd galvanize the community even more, just like Prop. 8 did.
Just look at the young faces at the National Equality Match. That's an entire generation awaken by Prop. 8.
