Only just barely – within the margin of error, in fact – but still. Given the sea of polls showing clear-cut opposition to gay marriage, it’s refreshing to see this one, conducted by the University of Connecticut (frankly, I’m a bit suprised that anyone at UCONN has been paying attention to anything other than basketball).
Seventy-four percent of those asked say they support the idea of a law to allow same-sex couples to legally form civil unions.
However, when asked about gay marriages, 49 percent support the idea while 46 percent are opposed.
Fifty-three percent oppose passing a law to define marriage as being between a man and woman.
I suspect they wouldn’t have found that much support for gay marriage had they conducted the same poll a year ago. Links via Family Scholars blog..
