California voters agree by a slim majority that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry, according to a Field Poll released today.

File this one under: "UP AGAINST THE WALL, MOTHERFUCKERS"

I almost wish this poll didn't have this result so early in the process.  It worries me that it will draw people to a false sense of security about the results of the referendum in the fall.  If the results were still slightly against same-sex marriage, it would drive people to work harder to kill the measure.  Still, it's an amazing and hopeful sign.

The other part of the poll which parallels Massachusetts (and probably the whole country, to greater and lesser degrees) is the fact that older voters tend to oppose gay marriage, and younger voters tend to support it.

This is a problem which, given the chance, will vanish with time.

Of course, this poll underscores the need to get the younger voters out to the polls in great numbers on Election Day.
