Look for another Vatican crackdown against reality. SC GOP will stand firm.

When voters were asked if they would be more or less likely to vote for their Congress member if they voted to repeal the policy, 24% said they would be more likely and 27% said they would be less likely, with about half of respondents saying it made no difference.

In other words, there’s zero political consequence for voting to repeal “don’t ask, don’t tell.”

"I don't get many issues on which to speak about [this] kind of historic change in mood and climate," Greenberg said on a call with reporters. Greenberg noted that by large numbers, Catholics (64%), white married women (61%), and voters aged 50-64 (59%) support repeal; and along partisan lines, 68% of Democrats, 55% of independents, and 41% of Republicans support repeal. 

“If you’re sitting down as a Republican strategist, this is not where you would go to say, ‘Let’s tee this up,’” Greenberg said.
