In the referendum in Maine on whether to overturn the law passed earlier this year legalizing gay marriage, 51 percent are in favor of scrapping it while 47 percent wants to let the measure stand, according to a Public Policy Polling survey conducted Oct. 31 - Nov. 1. The margin of error is 2.9 points.

Two weeks ago, PPP had this as a tie at 48 percent on each side of the issue,

"With a race as close as this it all comes down to which side can get its people out to the
polls," said PPP's Dean Debnam. "It could go either way depending on who actually shows up to vote."

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
