In the political circles, they mix with political types. Have the been polling their individual electorates? Or just their mates?
I suspect the largely rich white folk who are in politics would be very split on who to vote.
However, there are not many average citizens that i know who would even entertain the thought of a no vote. These are the same people that politicians overlook.
I can honestly say that i have not met one single person who has said they are 'no' voters. Nobody in my (extended) family, no matter if they be 18 (cousin) or 80 (grandfather) or anywhere inbetween are voting no. Nor any of my circle of friends, colleagues or acquaintances.
However, all throughout facebook and the like there are countless yes voters. Rainbow flags are up in business windows, and even some houses.
As i said, i cannot predict what the northern states are going to do, but unless there is a hidden state of no-voters out there i can't understand how it would even come close to 50-50
My experience is similar to yours Kruddler although one Christian friend is probably going to tick the 'no' box.
I suspect that many undecided folk won't bother to respond and there will be a significant apathetic bloc who simply won't bother. I can't see that bolstering the 'no' vote and the result should reflect the opinion polls. And that raises the question of why the government is wasting $122M on another opinion poll?
