Most Back Same-Sex Marriage

A new Bloomberg poll finds that 52% of Americans “support allowing same-sex couples to marry, endorsing the goal of gay-rights activists as the U.S. Supreme Court this month prepares to rule on the issue for the first time.”

“Of those supporters, more than half — 61% — want a national law rather than a state-by-state approach. During arguments in March, the justices signaled a reluctance to declare a right to same-sex marriage nationwide.”
