POLL: Florida Gay Marriage Ban Falling Short; Crist Popular
A new Quinnipiac Univeristy poll reveals some findings about the proposed amendment to ban same-sex marriage in Florida:
"The poll...finds that a proposed state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage is supported by 55 percent of voters — short of the 60 percent needed to amend the constitution. Three months ago, the amendment defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman was supported by 58 percent of voters."
In early August, possibly gay governor Charlie Crist said he supports the same-sex marriage ban. The governor also recently announced he's getting married to the female owner of a beard manufacturing company.
Perhaps that's why he remains popular: "The new poll shows Crist with a 61 percent approval rating among Floridians. Only 25 percent disapprove."
The poll surveyed 1,427 Florida voters and has a 2.6 percent margin of error.

I'm hoping that someone who knows for sure that Crist is gay outs him soon, hopefully before election day. Since he is for the amendment to ban gay marriage in Florida, he is fair game for exposure. If people know for a fact he's gay, then they should put up or shut up.
