NO on 8 Statement on Field Poll
EMBARGOED UNTIL 10 PM PDT
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- "The Field Poll shows that Prop
8's deceptive campaign has failed to move their numbers much at all. Prop 8
is trying to run a campaign to get to a Yes vote, yet they have remained in
this and other polls well below the 50 percent margin necessary for success.
We are running a No campaign, and we are successfully keeping our opponents
below 50 percent.
"We are highly energized across the state and we believe this will be a close
election. We reject any suggestion that there will be a last minute surge for
Prop 8 in a year where California is expected to go overwhelmingly for Sen.
Barack Obama.
"In fact, today Prop 8 Campaign Manager Frank Schubert released a blog
statement fretting that the presidential election would be called early on the
East Coast, thereby depressing conservative voting in California.
"Finally, we note that the Field Poll has a stellar record on initiatives and
has been accurate 94 percent of the time."
