ANTI-SSM GROUP ACCUSED OF HIDING POLL RESULTS: From the Boston Herald

Gay marriage foes are under fire for releasing only those portions of a new Zogby poll that supported their position--and hiding other results that showed public opposition to their drive to ban gay marriage with a constitutional amendment.

The Massachusetts Family Institute, which released the poll at a Wednesday rally, had heavily promoted results showing 69 percent of respondents wanted to have a chance to vote on the amendment.

But what the group didn't say is that a narrow majority of respondents opposed the amendment, by a split of 49-48 percent, according to a copy of the poll's results released by the Zogby organization.

Opponents also failed to mention that citizens, by a margin of 48-46, did not want lawmakers to prevent marriage licenses from being issued to homosexual couples in May, when the Supreme Judicial Court decision legalizing gay marriage takes effect.
