So how is that study relevant to a poll which is modeled to measure public opinion on a topic? The answer, of course, is that it isn't relevant at all.
Consider the last four statewide votes on the issue. Up until 2012, same-sex marriage opponents had a long winning streak in such referenda. Then it was on the ballot in four states in November 2012. In Minnesota, voters shot down a proposed constitutional ban put on the ballot by Republicans in the state legislature. In Maryland and Washington, after legislatures in those states passed same-sex marriage laws, opponents gathered enough signatures to put the laws to a public vote - the public approved the was in both states. In Maine, a citizen-initiated ballot measure to legalized same-sex marriage was passed.
Were all those votes faked?
Were dozens and dozens of separate polls conducted by over a dozen different polling organizations going back years that show plurality and majority support for same-sex marriage all faked?
