FAYETTEVILLE — A proposal to ban unmarried couples from fostering or adopting children is likely to fail, according to the annual Arkansas Poll.
The initiated act is opposed by 58 percent of those surveyed, according to poll results. The proposal is supported by 38 percent of participants, with 7 percent undecided or refusing to answer.
The poll interviewed 1,628 adult Arkansans via telephone between Oct. 1 and Oct. 21. The margin of error is plus or minus 2.5 percent on most questions. The 2008 Arkansas Poll is sponsored by the Diane D. Blair Center of Southern Politics and Society in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences. The poll was designed and analyzed by political scientists Janine Parry and Bill Schreckhise.
