60% don't want to vote again on marriage

The first L.A. Times/USC poll will run in Sunday's and Monday's papers and will cover a bunch of topics. Some of the findings the Times is teasing:

  • 51% of Calfornia registered voters polled favored marriage rights for same-sex couples (43% opposed.) That's more support than shown in previous elections.
  • Almost 60% don't want to be asked to vote on the issue again next year.
  • 70% consider the H1N1 flu vaccine safe, but 52% said they did not plan to get vaccinated.

Under the LAT's new arrangement with USC, the polling is conducted by the Democratic firm Greenberg Quinlan Rosner and the Republican firm Public Opinion Strategies. A media call to analyze the poll with Dan Schnur, director of Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics, USC professor Jane Junn and Times AME David Lauter is scheduled for 11 a.m. Sunday.
