Is gay marriage twice as popular as President Bush in California?

The photo above really has nothing to do with this post except that it's a hoot! Anyway, the boifromtroy.com blog points out something pretty interesting: In California, the President of the United States has a 26% approval rating according to the latest Survey USA poll. That means that he is barely more than half as popular as Gay Marriage–which is supported by 48% of California voters in the latest survey–confirming a trend that a plurality of Californians are now supporting marriage equality.
Boi From Troy notes that this is important to note because it is very likely that California voters will ultimately have to vote on whether to recognize gay marriage in California, again–either as a referendum on a potential Supreme Court decision or as part of a compromise between the Legislature and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
