There's also the fact that by the time civil union legislation could likely get through most state legislatures, cases based on Windsor will have already have at minimum given gays the right to form civil unions that are marriages in all but name and more than likely will have given them the name as well.

It's probably correct, but I would reject this poll because it is released by an advocacy group that has LGBT rights as a core of its agenda.



For support and legality of same-sex marriage.

White -- same-sex marriage legal or has at the least been enacted. No further distinction.

Green -- same-sex marriage not legal, but more popular than unpopular

65% or higher -- deep green (90% saturation)
60.0 - 64.9%  -- dark green  (70% saturation)
55.0 - 59.9%  -- medium green (50% saturation)
50.0 - 54.6% --  light green (30% saturation)
below 50% but positive -- aqua (20% saturation)

tie -- yellow

above 45.0% but negative -- salmon(30% saturation)
40.0 - 44.9% -- medium red(50% saturation)
35.0 - 39.9%  -- red (60% saturation)
30.0 - 34.9%  -- maroon (70% saturation)
under 30% -- deep red  (90% saturation)

I'd like to see more states legalize it, but it's just not a federal issue.

Careful, Virginia -- if you keep this up, they won't let you into the "New Confederacy."

Northern Virginia's influence over the state continues to grow as more people move to the region.

I'm kind of surprised that Kentucky is the most strongly opposed out of the states polled so far, even more so than Louisiana.

Western Kentucky is more than anything the Midwest which has very conservative stances on social issues. The state as a whole could pass for the Safely Republican column by now too. It's right up there with Texas, Alabama, Kansas, North Dakota, Alaska, and Nebraska. Other southern states like Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and West Virginia should be in the solid GOP column.

States should decide on the matter and I support it if it's what gays want. I'm not convinced every single gay person wants a marriage as if they were a straight couple, but it would be fair to allow gays to marry. I don't see the need for DOMA.

New Mexico less supportive than Arizona?  I suppose New Mexico is more populist.

I used to be against gay marriage but ok with other states legalizing it. Now 10 years later, I support gay marriage, but still believe it should be up to the states. It's never been a top issue for me. What did you mean by New Confederacy? lol

Has Virginia become the new New Hampshire!?

It could be. Virginia has been out of step with the rest of the South for a very long time. It went for Herbert Hoover in 1928. It went for Eisenhower twice. It was the only former Confederate state to vote for Ford in 1976 and never went for Clinton.

It went for Dubya by 8% in 2000 and 2004 -- showing some slight D drift.

Virginia has been attracting hordes of Yankees who bring their political attitudes with them. A couple years ago PPP asked people what their favorite team was  (at least before the Nationals moved in from Montreal).... and many of the responses were "Yankees", "Mets", "Phillies", "Red Sox", and "Cubs". (There seem to be lots of Tiger fans, too). The sports fans show where they are from.

Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Phillies, Cubs, and probably any Tiger, Giant, and Dodger fans reflect the places that they are from, and those people on the whole are liberals. (Oriole fans are somewhat local, and southwest Georgia is split between Reds and Braves fans. Cincinnati and Atlanta are relatively liberal, but their extended areas of fan support are decidedly conservative. 

Virginia has shown the pattern of Northern states.

No, but it may become the new Maryland. More and more, Virginia is DC suburbs, while people in the Appalacheans are dying because they are old. And there is an area where is lots of Blacks (Richmond area).

Really want to see what a poll would show on abortion. I think that Wyoming's is being pulled to conform with the rest of the Republican base.

Really want to see what a poll would show on abortion. I think that Wyoming's is being pulled to conform with the rest of the Republican base.

It really depends on how the question is asked. The majority of the public will always say yes to being pro-choice or pro-life because it feels nice to be on the side of the unborn and to be on the side of young girls who don't know what to do. However, if you asked someone if they are pro-abortion or support abortion, then the majority will say no. People will say yes though if you simply ask "do you support a woman's right to choose?" At the end of the day, the majority will say they're pro-life, but think the government shouldn't get in the way of abortions because others may have different views and we're always going to have abortions like we have drugs.

Updated to include Wyoming poll.  Not going to change Ohio or Pennsylvania since their legal cases have neither completely gone thru the courts, nor in the case of Ohio allow couples to wed there, just for their marriages elsewhere be recognized.



For support and legality of same-sex marriage.

White -- same-sex marriage legal or has at the least been enacted. No further distinction.

Green -- same-sex marriage not legal, but more popular than unpopular

65% or higher -- deep green (90% saturation)
60.0 - 64.9%  -- dark green  (70% saturation)
55.0 - 59.9%  -- medium green (50% saturation)
50.0 - 54.6% --  light green (30% saturation)
below 50% but positive -- aqua (20% saturation)

tie -- yellow

above 45.0% but negative -- salmon(30% saturation)
40.0 - 44.9% -- medium red(50% saturation)
35.0 - 39.9%  -- red (60% saturation)
30.0 - 34.9%  -- maroon (70% saturation)
under 30% -- deep red  (90% saturation)

Bad thing about Florida, is that it takes 60% of the voters to approve ballot initiatives.

and OF COURSE the gay marriage ban just BARELY passed with over 62% of the vote.
