A survey in Maine by Public Policy Polling reports that there is a strong probability that voters in the state are likely to reverse their 2009 decision and
legalize gay marriage in this fall: 54% say gay
marriage should be legal; only 41% who think it should be illegal. According to the poll, "Republicans' opinions are pretty much the same as they
were in 2009. But Democrats' support for gay marriage has increased
slightly, from 71% to 78%. And more importantly independents have gone
from voting against gay marriage 52/46 three years ago to now supporting
it by a 57/36 margin."
