The Public Policy Institute of California released a new survey yesterday that further elucidates the voters who passed Proposition 8. No major surprises to my mind–except that this survey doesn’t pin the blame on blacks the way you’d expect if you’ve been reading mainstream media lately.
In case you missed it, the survey, “Californians & Their Government,” is available as a PDF. According to the PPIC’s Web site, “Proposition 8, the same-sex marriage ban that voters approved, drew support from evangelical Christians, Republicans, Latinos, voters without a college degree, and those aged 55 and older.”
Also see the Proposition 8 fact sheet and commentary from the CEO/president of the PPIC, Mark Baldassare.
