Los Angeles, Calif., Nov 14, 2009 / 23:36 pm
A new poll shows that almost 60 percent of California voters show they don’t want an initiative seeking to overturn Proposition 8 on the 2010 ballot.
Prop. 8 overturned a California Supreme Court decision which instated same-sex “marriage.” It passed in the 2008 election by 52 to 48 percent.
A poll conducted by the Los Angeles Times surveyed 1,500 voters and found about 60 percent did not want to revisit the issue.
“The survey showed that same-sex marriage continues to reverberate differently along racial and generational lines,” the Times reported. “A little more than half of whites backed it, while slightly fewer than half of African Americans and Latinos did. All three groups, however, opposed having to vote on it in 2010.”
