Most Think Country Doesn’t Back Same-Sex Marriage

A new Gallup poll finds 53% of Americans “say the law should recognize same-sex
marriages, the third consecutive reading of 50% or above in Gallup
polling over the past year.”

More interesting: “Although a majority of Americans themselves support legal gay marriage,
an even larger majority perceive that most Americans come down on the
side of not legalizing it. When asked their impression of how
most Americans feel about the issue, 63% say the public is opposed to
gay marriage and 30% say the public favors it. These data suggest that a
segment of Americans who support same-sex marriage believe that their
views are in the minority, while in reality they are in the majority.”
