New Mexico GOP Plays Fast and Loose With Facts in Gay Partnership Poll

With the support of ADF, the New Mexico GOP Monday released a survey of voters in the state, conducted by Public Opinion Strategies — a Republican polling firm — purporting to show that New Mexicans are solidly opposed to domestic partnerships.

But are they? The devil, as usual, is in the details. The New Mexico Independent’s Trip Jennings has the story here.
