A new poll indicates that the religious beliefs and economic status of voters played a greater role than age and race in determining support for Proposition 8, the ballot initiative that took away marriage for same-sex couples in California. According to the poll, conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California, people who identified as practicing Christians were very likely to support Prop 8, as were voters who did not attend college and voters who earned less than $40,000 a year. The poll also determined that age and race, among others, were less important factors.
