Majority Oppose Discriminatory Anti-Marriage Initiative in California

The California Field Poll found a majority of Californians are against writing marriage discrimination into the California Constitution with Proposition 8. This latest poll performed in July 2008 reaffirmed similar findings from the Field Poll in May 2008.

Regarding the Field Poll results, Mark DiCamillo, director of the nonpartisan Field Poll said, "Starting out behind is usually an ominous sign for a proposition. Over 90 percent of propositions that start out behind get taken down." Such news reaffirms the extreme importance of work in California to protect marriage and ensure that fair-minded Californians vote no on Prop. 8 in November.
