Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: We draw from agenda setting and voter mobilization theories to develop hypotheses about how the gay marriage issue may have affected voter choice in the 2004 presidential contest. We use national opinion data to test if gay marriage had greater salience for voters in states where gay marriage ban amendments were on the ballot, and test if the issue had a greater affect on candidate choice in these states. We then use state level opinion data to test how support for the gay marriage ban interacted with the mobilization effects of state anti-gay marriage campaigns to shape support for Bush in key states. We find that gay marriage amendments affected the issue agenda in 2004, and increased support for Bush. Gay marriage was more likely to be cited by residents of states with marriage amendments as an issue used to evaluate candidates, and residents of marriage ban states who were primed to be concerned about gay marriage were significantly more likely to vote Bush. We also find that the amendment may have mobilized turnout of voters opposed to gay marriage in Ohio, and that these voters were significantly more likely to vote for Bush.
