Washington United for Marriage, the broad coalition working to Approve Referendum 74 and defend the state’s marriage law, today cited a new independent poll showing a majority of voters support the freedom to marry.
According to Survey USA conducted for KING5-TV in Seattle of 524 Likely Voters from Sept. 7 through Sept. 9, 56% of those surveyed would vote to approve Referendum 74 while 38% would vote to reject. The poll has a margin of error of 4.3%.
“While this is the biggest number and the widest spread recorded by any independent poll, this remains a very fluid race and our opponents have yet to unleash their attacks,” said Zach Silk, WUM‘s campaign manager. “We’ve seen what’s happened in other states and that’s generally a late attack aimed at frightening voters, so we’ll continue to work round-the-clock, talking to voters and reminding them that in Washington, everyone should be have the freedom to marry the person they love.”
