New Poll: Americans are Evenly Split on Gay Marriage


A new poll reveals that our country is evenly split over gay marriage. In fact, the response is growing in favor of us having full marriage equality.

TPM reports:
That finding comes just weeks after the Obama administration announced it would no longer defend key elements of the Defense of Marriage Act -- the federal law that defines marriage as being between a man and a woman -- in court. And it also shows that Republicans may not have an upper hand in next years' presidential election if they try to thrust social issues to the forefront of the debate.


According to the poll, a slim 46% plurality of Americans say gay marriage should not be legal. However, 45% said it should be legal, and with a 3% margin of error in the poll, that places the results into a statistical tie.


Further, the latest findings further a clear trend of Americans becoming more and more receptive to the idea of gay marriage.
Funny, while some of these states try to ban gay marriage, the country grows in favor of it. Folks need to get a clue. We are moving forward.
