Gay marriage ban could pass

Most Florida voters back a state constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, though the level of support is just shy of the 60 percent required for approval, according to a Mason-Dixon poll released Thursday.

The survey found 57 percent favor Amendment 2, while 36 percent oppose it and 7 percent are undecided. The Oct. 20-21 survey of 625 likely voters has a margin of error of plus or minus four percent.

"While the current support level remains below the 60 percent threshold, it still has a good shot at voter ratification,'' said Mason-Dixon pollster Brad Coker. "In other ballot amendment and initiative votes in other states, undecided voters have generally broken strongly in support of gay marriage bans.''
