Nate Silver finds "Gay Marriage Opponents Now in Minority"

[MNBrewer]

Mr. President... it's ok to come out of the closet now (on gay marriage) ... you won't have to lead on this issue ... your "god-who-is-in-the-mix" won't be too upset with you on this.

"Remember how last October the President said of marriage equality, "The one thing I will say today is I think it’s pretty clear where the trendlines are going."

Well, today, we get further confirmation from Nate Silver that the trendline is, in fact, moving in the right direction on marriage equality"

"There is a margin of error associated with the calculation of the trendline, so it is too soon to say with confidence that support for gay marriage has become the plurality position (let alone the majority one). Other polls — like a Pew survey released in March — continue to show opinion split about evenly.

However, opponents of gay marriage almost certainly no longer constitute a majority; just one of the last nine polls has shown opposition to gay marriage above 50 percent."

4. A majority isn't enough

Neither is a super majority or a consensus.

Only when every single man, woman, and child in the US says that same-sex marriage should be legal will our "fierce aardvark" come out and lead the hunt for ants for us.
