Polls on Same-Sex Marriage State Laws

[old timey villain]

-Georgia voters are still strongly opposed to gay marriage- only 32% support it with 60% against. But even there you can see the wheels turning- last year we found 27% of voters in the state supportive and 65% opposed. Voters under 30 support it by a 56/31 marriage.

Have you factored in the recent Georgia poll on SSM? You can find the details on the georgia megathread in the gubernatorial/statewide elections page.

Since we currently have a bunch of states where the ban was overturned, but a stay was issued for appeal, should we have another shading for that?

Such a busy map. I'd like think this will all be blue in 5 years. At this point it would take a legal expert to understand all the confusing gay marriage laws in every state.
