A new poll from Survey USA has some surprising results which contradict most other polling data. Overall, voters are somewhat split on the issue, with 47 percent supporting Proposition 8, which would eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry, while 42 percent are opposed.
But the subsample of voters between 18 and 34 support the measure by a considerably larger margin of 53 to 39 percent.
That would seem to contradict most previous polling which suggests a generational divide on the issue, with young voters more likely to support same-sex marriage and older voters more likely to be opposed.
