The Stranger: An extremely narrow majority of Washington voters say they will vote to approve the state's domestic partnership law, according to a poll released today by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research. The pollster asked 569 likely voters in the November election if they would approve or reject Referendum 71.

This is how respondents said they would vote: “Approve: 51 percent; Reject: 44 percent; Undecided: 5 percent.” "It’s going to be a razor thin election," says Josh Friedes, a spokesman for Washington Families Standing Together, which sponsored the poll.
