The above numbers are why we eventually need a Supreme Court decision to institute gay marriage across the country. I just hope the end result is more like Loving v. Virginia as opposed to Roe v. Wade. I think it will be the former....

Also Blacks support gay marriage more than Whites. That had to be said.

What I would really like is to abolish the states. I don't see them as some type of 'free enablers' but as a great way to divert attention and focus for divide and conquer techniques and as loopholes for national standards. I think we would have dealt more effectively with things like healthcare years ago if we had a unicameral national legislature.

A man after my own heart.

And mine. (Nothing wrong with states per se, though. The real problem is that Congress does not have plenary power to overturn state actions.)

Interesting thing about the Georgia is that if you put together the people that support same-sex marriage and civil unions together you get 57% for some form of legal recognition. I see that to even be a big deal! 

Gay couples should be allowed to legally marry .............................................................. 24%
Gay couples should be allowed to form civil    unions but not marry ....................................... 33%
There should be no legal recognition of a gay couple's relationship ....................................... 40%
Notsure.......................................................... 3%

The low numbers in Illinois are surprising.

Also these state numbers don't square with national numbers showing gay marriage support at about 50%.

Maybe it's just PPP showing lower numbers for gay marriage support than there is?

Also we shouldn't be surprised at lower numbers for gay marriage in the Midwest. Still, Illinois should be higher than that if half of the people in this country support gay marriage.

When has Civil Unions exclusively been on the ballot box? Also isn't this a change in the numbers?

The Winthrop Poll had a question in their latest survey which was about same-sex divorce rather than about same-sex marriage. No questions about marriage or civil unions. 929 respondents and the result was 37.3% pro vs. 49.5% con.

Regardless of your attitudes toward same sex marriage, do you think South Carolina should or should not permit gay couples who were married in other states to have their divorce decided under the rules of South Carolina law?

Very Strongly Should: 20.5%
Somewhat Strongly Should: 16.8%

Somewhat Strongly Should Not: 11.6%
Very Strongly Should Not: 37.9%

Not Sure/ Don’t Know: 10.3%

Refused to Answer: 2.8%

South Carolina (PPP)

Q10 Do you think same-sex marriage should be allowed, or not?
It should be allowed 27%
It should not ........... .62%
Not sure ................. .10%

Q11 Which of the following best describes your opinion on gay marriage: gay couples should be allowed to legally marry, or gay couples should be allowed to form civil unions but not legally marry, or there should be no legal recognition of a gay couple's relationship?

25% - Gay couples should be allowed to legally marry
29% - Gay couples should be allowed to form civil unions but not marry
43% - There should be no legal recognition of a gay couple's relationship
4% - Not sure

So it looks like if it weren't for the fact that likely any Republican who voted for it would get primaried, civil unions would be passable in South Carolina.

I doubt it, people who say they support civil unions but not marriage usually vote against civil unions when it comes up.

It's a 9 point polling margin now and it would be a minimum of 2 years before a constitutional amendment to allow civil unions could go before the voters.  Given current trends, I'd expect that margin to widen in those 2 years, so I'm not as pessimistic about the chances of its passage as you are Danny.  Not that I see any chance it would get put before the voters of this state in 2014.  It would require either a far greater polling margin and/or the Democrats miraculously regaining control of both houses of the General Assembly.  Maybe in 2020 at the earliest if the US Supreme Court hasn't decided the issue for all the States sooner.

Colorado had a referendum in 2006, but it was the year of Ted Haggard, and scandals about gays bring down gay rights referenda even if they're about hypocrites.

Again, Blacks are more supportive of gay marriage than Whites, just like in GA.

probably with blacks more supportive in the Midwest and PA, and less in the rest of the Northeast and the Pacific.

Of course, in the south, "white person" is almost synonymous with "Republican." So it's no surprise that when "black person" is then synonymous with "Democrat," the black folk turn out to be slightly more supportive of gay rights than hardcore white religious conservatives.

So, twice then? That's hardly much of a trend to create a rule of thumb about.

Major point from the poll: Even Republicans in New Jersey support SSM, 47% to 46%.
