Granite Staters Ahead of State Pols on Seat Belt Law

In my last post on this, I wrote:
Obligatory seat belt use in cars is a societal norm in the United States of America.  At some time in the future a tipping point will be reached where it will seem freakish to a majority of Granite Staters that we are behind that curve.
Well, is two-thirds a tipping point?  Those are the numbers Andy Smith is citing (FWIW) in a new poll:
This month's poll showed that 64 percent of New Hampshire adults support a mandatory seatbelt law. Democrats, women and folks who are relatively new to the state are most likely to back such a new law; Republicans, men, folks under 29, families that make less than $30,000 and the unmarried are most likely to oppose, according to an analysis by the Survey Center's Andy Smith and Tracy Fowler.
