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."
