THAT NEW JERSEY POLL:

While we are on the subject, that Zogby poll last week showing a majority of New Jerseyans support gay marriage is looking odd. If you check the underlying data, which Zogby does release to media, although not on their website, Hispanics were actually more likely than whites to support gay marriage, although national polls, such as the one at the NYT "Hispanics Back Bush and Big Government too" show Hispanics nationally are generally less receptive to gay and lesbians issues than whites. And Muslims were more pro-gay marriage than Jews: almost 74 percent favored gay marriage.

One possible difference: The Zogby poll is of "likely voters" as Zogby defines that, not all adults.

In my humble opinion the bottom line: A big chunk of public opinion is fluid, shifting, uncertain and the course of the future on this issue has yet to be determined.
