New Poll: New York is Good with Gay Marriage


New York has spoken in a latest NY1/Marist poll that covers the recent Gay Marriage law.

Here are some key findings:
  • 55% of NYS adults support the legalization of same-sex marriage. 36% oppose it, and 9% are unsure.
  • Similar proportions of registered voters share these views. 
  • About 66% of Democratic voters support the law. A majority of Republican voters -- 52% -- oppose the law. Nearly six in ten non-enrolled voters -- 58% -- support it. 
  • About 62% of New Yorkers under the age 45 back the legislation; 50% of those 45 and older do. 
  • When it comes to a suit filed to overturn the law, 63% of adults statewide don’t want the law to be overturned, 32% do and 5% are unsure. 
  • 72% of Democratic voters and 66% of non-enrolled voters want to keep the law. Republican voters divide: 48% of GOPers think it should be overturned; 47% disagree.
  • Nearly seven in ten suburban residents -- 69% -- and about two-thirds of those upstate -- 66% -- don’t want the law overturned. 57% of NYC adults agree.
  • 44% of registered voters in New York report they are more likely to vote for a state senator who voted to pass the same-sex marriage law. Three in ten are less likely to do so while 19% say it makes no difference and seven percent are unsure.
  • Although 79% of New York State residents don't expect to be a guest at the same-sex marriage of a family member or friend in the next year, 70% would attend asked, including 34% who oppose the law legalizing same-sex marriage.
 Now what, NOM and Ruben Diaz?
