I don’t trust this survey. Look at who Simon and Goodwin are:
Paul Goodwin
GSSR Partner Paul Goodwin runs the Los Angeles office of Goodwin Simon Strategic Research. Since 1990, he’s been polling for political and public sector clients in California and around the nation.
His political work includes ballot measures addressing complex social and policy issues, such as end-of-life care, abortion, drug policy, prison and sentencing reform, education funding, and transportation.
His candidates include more than 75 state and local elected officials in California, Oregon, and Washington, often in the toughest and most contested districts. He also works for the Washington and California Democratic party caucuses on critical targeted races.
His public sector work includes work on social marketing and program evaluation projects related to environmental protection and smoking prevention for cities including San Diego, Santa Barbara, and San Jose, and Los Angeles County.
He’s also an expert on the challenge of passing local bond and tax measures, and has helped school and college districts, cities, and counties raise well over a billion dollars in needed revenue.
Paul Goodwin has a bachelor’s degree from UC Davis and a Master of Public Policy Degree from Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School.

Thank you for going to the trouble to find this information and post it.
These two people are GLBT hacks, working for Big Gay and determined to push their agenda.
Since the gay organizations have hundreds of millions of dollars, they can hire the best PR flacks and pay them high salaries to work full time, doing fake polls like this, hand them to reporters, and do lazy reporters’ work for them. Nice work if you can get it.
