FRANKFORT, Ky. Opposition to gay marriage continues to erode in Kentucky with only half of the state's voters favoring prohibitions on same-sex couples that were struck down in federal court this month. Results from the latest Bluegrass Poll, released Tuesday, show 50 percent of registered voters in Kentucky oppose same-sex marriage, while 37 percent favor it and 12 percent remain unsure. That's a drop from the 55 percent who said they opposed gay marriage in February and a sharp decline from the 72 percent that voted in favor of a ban in 2004 when the state constitution was amended to define marriage as between a man and a woman. "We've hit a bit of a threshold, and I think the tipping point is soon to follow," said Chris Hartman, director of the Fairness Campaign. "The opposition has been teetering on the edge of having a majority for a long time, and that ground is rapidly slipping out from under them." http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...osition-to-gay-marriage-wanes-in-ky/13343629/ 72% in 2004.....55% five months ago....50% today. There's a bit of a "pattern", isn't there?
