Public dollars for a Minnesota Vikings stadium received mixed marks. But paying for the facility with gambling proceeds — the route ultimately chosen by the Legislature — received backing from 55 percent of respondents. The SurveyUSA numbers also contained encouraging news for opponents of a constitutional amendment banning marriage for same-sex couples. Slightly more than half of respondents indicated that they agree with President Barack Obama’s stance in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage, while 42 percent indicated disapproval. Minnesota voters will decide in November whether to adopt the constitutional amendment. AFSCME encourages union members to vote no. An injury to our LGBT members is an injury to all of us. Obama looks like a strong favorite to win Minnesota again in 2012. He defeats likely GOP nominee Mitt Romney by a 52 to 38 percent margin, according to the poll. SurveyUSA polled 516 registered voters on May 9 and 10. The survey had a margin of error of slightly more than plus or minus 4 percentage points.

AFSCME Local 34, P.O. Box 15222, Commerce Station, Mpls., Mn. 55415 "There is, of course, no guarantee of success. But politics is not about observations or predictions. Politics is what we create, by what we do, what we hope for, and what we dare to imagine." ~ Paul Wellstone Have a great day and thank you for visiting our union's website!
