Democrats weigh gay marriage vote in pre-election sprint

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Behind the scenes, Senate Democrats are circulating a summary that emphasizes how the bill will also aid clean energy projects.
54% : For now, Democrats are committed to little other than confirming judges and funding the government after a surprisingly fruitful summer session of legislating on firearm access, climate and taxes, microchip manufacturing and veterans' benefits.
48% : And like same-sex marriage, the vote could be a tough one for Republicans.
45% : There's a host of questions facing congressional leaders, in addition to voting on marriage equality, like capping insulin costs, how to approve energy permitting reform sought by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), and what strategy to use on funding the government.
45% : Democrats included a cap on insulin prices for Medicare in their August party-line legislation, but the $35 ceiling for private insurance fell short.
30% : Still, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) advocated votes on marriage equality and insulin costs, even if Republicans block them.
28% : Baldwin and Collins are working on an amendment to clarify that the bill will not affect religious liberty or conscience protections.
