Large Majority Support Same Sex Marriage

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds that 50% of Americans say the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection gives gays the right to marry, while 41% say it does not.

Beyond the constitutional questions, a record-high 59% say they support same-sex marriage, while 34% are opposed, the widest margin tracked in Post-ABC polling.
