Interesting that some liberal issues did well, such as gay marraige, but not AA or gun control. Obviously this isn't scientific though.

The best cannabis in North America (including Canada and Mexico) comes from California. If it were legalized, California's economy would soar.

Well, some people might support it to different degrees, but the poll wasn't specific enough, so they just didn't vote on it.

More gun control is not needed. Enforcement of EXISTING laws are though.

Affirmative Action is not needed.

And, the world is split on if there is, or is not, "global warming".

From this list I'd say I'm most against heightening National Security at the expense of civil liberties and most in favor of some form of Universal Healthcare. Interesting that Abortion isn't on your poll and that you worded the poll as you did. Most are with a liberal bent so I'd expect you to say "withdraw from Iraq", "abolish the death penalty", and "for civil liberties over national security"

That's how I voted - I'm for Gay Marriage but against Affirmative Action and Increased Gun Control. I think both the latter are broken and not helping the root problem.

I am not at all surprised that people generally reject Affirmative Action, Amnesty, the War in Iraq, and Gun Restrictions. Those 4 were pretty much given (although I thought amnesty would be at like 20% support).

The others are quite interesting though.

Universal Health Care - Have to level the international cost per hour labor issue

National Security - If it isn't a priority, you'll regret it

Death Penalty - The only reason it is identified as too expensive is the ridiculous appeals process
