Last Week's Results

Now that he supports same-sex marriage, are you more or less likely to vote for President Obama?

More likely: 48%

Less likely: 28%

Has no effect: 24%

Your Comments on supporting shorter prison terms for domestic violence survivors convicted of crimes directly related to their abuse:

Has no effect. I support same sex marriage also but people have been fighting for this right for so long. Why make a comment now? If someone like the President supports it, he should of made his support known when it brought to his attention. - Leslie O., Wappingers Falls

More likely. I dislike the narrow and politically hot term: "gay marriage". It should be redefined to incude all living arrangements and contracts. - Paul S., Voorheesville

Has no effect. This is not a deal-breaker, either way. To quote a previous president "It's the economy..." that overshadows everything. - Barb B., Queens

Less likely. This is another attack on the integrity, sanctity and yes the sacrament of marriage. What are the consequences of violating that which is holy? - Art N., Staatsburg

Has no effect. Seems to me that marriage is a 'civil right', and that's why you need a license from the State to participate. If a church, masque or temple chooses not to perform your (gay or straight) marriage that's their right. I believe that's called the separation of Church and State. - Steve B., Albany

Has no effect. I was going to vote for him anyhow. - Lois S., Roslyn

Has no effect. There's no question that I was already voting for President Obama, but it makes me very happy that he (finally) spoke out about this issue. - Lisa F, North Chatham

More likely. Proud he stood up for rights of gay persons. - Nancy F., Sodus

More likely. I'm glad his views finally "evolved" to the just one, but he's still too corporatist to get my vote. - Brian F., Glens Falls
