WASHINGTON, D.C.—The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) released the following statement after recent gay marriage polling in Maine:

National Organization for Marriage

Recent public polls conducted by Public Policy Polling (PPP) and the Maine People's Resource Center are showing support for gay marriage declining in Maine, despite 3 weeks of as yet unanswered ads. A new internal poll by JMC Analytics and Polling, the first public poll not pushed by a pro-gay marriage source, shows support for gay marriage falling further behind in Maine and under 50% for the first time in months—by a margin of 48% to 44%. As PPP stated, "undecideds" typically vote against gay marriage. JMC's poll confirms that gay marriage is in great trouble in Maine, despite the spending advantage.

"It's worth recalling in September of 2008 polls had Proposition 8 in California down by as much as ten percent, and yet voters in that blue state rejected gay marriage. We expect the voters of Maine will do the same," stated Brian Brown, President of NOM.
