Bradley effect
not really a good argument when you said NATIONALLY and there was not a national vote on gay marriage. and the only time it has been up for a public vote in a state where it had anywhere close to majority support was California, and that was in 2008, and public support in California has increased since then. In addition, in the time leading up the election the polling was never a majority against prop 8, and even in most cases where 'against' prop 8 was winning, if you took into account the margin of error and undecideds, the outcome was not shocking.
