Polls on Same-Sex Marriage State Laws

[IceSpear]

Wouldn't it make more sense to put these initiatives on the ballot on 2016, when there's higher turnout among young voters and presumably the issue will have moved even further in the pro-gay marriage direction by then? I could definitely see anti-gay marriage forces pulling off upsets in 2014 which could blunt momentum.

That one looks a lot more believable than the other one.

But it's very interesting despite being overwhelmingly against SSM, it's a tie on whether or not they think SSM from other states should be recognized there. That could end up being a very easy way to backdoor legalize SSM nationwide. Ex: "Utah doesn't have to perform it, but must recognize". Two guys or gals go out to California, get married, come back, and then they're married in Utah as well.

Which of these is not like the others?

The F&M poll now has corroboration.

PA supports gay marriage 57-37

To be honest, I don't even know why states that have gay marriage already aren't shaded. Are we not curious about public opinion in those states as well?

I'm pretty sure that all the states that have SSM have majority support, save for possibly Iowa and New Mexico.

Yeah, but the margin is the interesting part. If we're going to remove the shade from any state that already has gay marriage, won't it just become a carbon copy of Wikipedia's map eventually?

[IceSpear]

Yes, but the thread title is "polls on same-sex marriage laws", not "legality of same sex marriage".

If only Democrats abandoned their support for bro marriage we could win Oklahoma in a landslide.

Why would there be such a huge gap between ND/SD and ID/WY?

CNN shows 63-36 support for gay marriage nationwide. Republicans only oppose 55-42 (!).
