Some good news in the most recent Field poll (PDF) (kinda). Prop 8 is down by 5 points, 44% Yes, 49% No. While one would like to see these two numbers further apart, these are pretty good numbers. And as the campaign points out, Field is just about the only pollster that has a good track record on propositions, at about 94%.
All that being said, this is still going to be a tight race. One worrisome indicator is that for those who voted already, Yes is leading (50-44). So please, please, do not let up. The progressive position tends to fare better on election day, but that requires we do all the hard GOTV work. Do not quit at 6PM when some LGBT organizations in LA have ridiculously chosen to start their party. Do not quit until that last poll closes.
One concern is that if the presidential victor has been chosen before our polls close, voters will stop voting. Don't let them. We need every one of our voters to vote. 8 PM people, and then you can celebrate or do whatever you want. But until 8, let's not leave anything on the field. Regrets in elections don't win you any votes. And hopefully this ad, narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, will help.
