Marriage, Voter ID, and Right to Work poll well with Minnesotans.

Here's a discussion of polling done on three proposed constitutional amendments: marriage, Voter ID, and Right to Work on the Minnesota Progressive Project. It's from a February 3rd SurveyUSA, polling done for KSTP.

SurveyUSA (2/3, no trend lines):

"If an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution were on the ballot that would designate Minnesota as a "right to work" state, meaning it would be easier for workers to opt out of unions and union dues, how would you vote?"

For	55
Against	24
Not vote	9
Not sure	12

SurveyUSA (2/3, no trend lines):

"If an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution were on the ballot that would require voters to show photo I.D.'s in order to vote on Election Day, how would you vote?"

For	70
Against	23
Not vote	4
Not sure	4

(MoE: ±4.3%)

The writer bemoans the fact that they do so well, especially Voter ID and Right to Work.

There is no silver lining in any of these numbers. Every single demographic group identified in SUSA's cross tabs says they will vote for both of these amendments. That means self described Democrats and liberals. If we are going to have any chance whatsoever to defeat these amendments we must start with getting our ideological brethren on our side.

The Marriage Protection Amendment, despite the incessant negative attacks in the mainstream media, polls well with 47% for and 39% against.

With whatever amendments are on the November ballot, it will make for a very interesting election year.
