Bipartisan support for legal recognition of couples is growing, and 83% say
marriage equality will happen within the next 10 years.
Three-quarters of voters say that the right to marriage is a constitutional
right, and 83% say they believe marriage equality will become legal in the U
.S. within the next decade.
According to a poll of 800 participants by the Anzalone Liszt Grove Research
, the support for marriage equality, or at least relationship recognition,
is becoming an increasingly bipartisan issue. Sixty-two percent of voters
believe that legalizing marriage will not have much impact on most people's
lives.
Another poll released Tuesday, through the Center for American Progress,
shows that 52% registered voters participating in the poll favored
legalizing full marriage equality for same-sex couples. Furthermore, 62%
agreed that it is discrimination for the federal government to deny marriage
protections and the benefit to legally married same-sex couples. Figures
from that poll also show that support for marriage equality is rising among
groups of people of color. Sixty-five percent of black people and 61% of
Latinos say they oppose Section 3 of DOMA, which bars the federal government
from recognizing marriages of legally wed same-sex couples.
"In 2013 registered voters have reached a tipping point, in which a majority
(52 percent) favors allowing marriage for same-sex couples," said Amy Simon
, a partner at Goodwin Simon Strategic Research, who fielded the poll. "
However, an even larger portion—almost 6 in 10 respondents—oppose DOMA’s
requirement that the federal government discriminate against those same-six
couples who are legally married by denying their marriage’s recognition." |
