Back on February 3rd SurveyUSA, polling for KSTP, released a poll and I completely missed it for six days. So now, like a magazine that's been in the bathroom for a week, the corners bent and it's content exhausted, I'll finally bring it out for inspection.The folks at SUSA asked about one constitutional amendment that's already on the ballot and two that seem like they're destined for that same fate.
SurveyUSA (2/3, 11/8 in parenthesis, 5/25 in brackets):
"An amendment to the Minnesota Constitution on the ballot defines marriage as between one man and one woman, will you vote..."
(MoE: ±4.3%)
For 47 (46) [51] Against 39 (40) [40] Not vote 10 (10) [8] Not sure 4 (4) [2]
This issue has essentially stabilized over the last six months, with amendment supporters holding a small but consistent ~4 point advantage in the average of polls. SurveyUSA though is the only pollster who has given respondants the option of not voting for the amendment and they find 10% who utilize this option.
Those not votes, by people who cast a ballot, will count the same as no votes so it's tempting to simply lump them together and say that the amendment is actually losing slightly 49-47.
