Americans of all stripes predict more states will allow same-sex marriage and recreational marijuana by the end of 2014, a HuffPost/YouGov poll finds, even though other surveys have shown Republicans still oppose permitting either.

According to the new poll, 64 percent of Americans expect more states to legalize marijuana by the end of the year, while 62 percent expect more states to recognize the marriage of gay and lesbian couples.

In both cases, those expectations cross party lines.

Seventy-one percent of Democrats, 63 percent of Republicans and 60 percent of independents said they think more states will have legalized adult use of recreational marijuana by the end of the year. That's true even though a recent CNN poll found that 62 percent of Democrats and 59 percent of independents, but only 36 percent of Republicans, think that weed should be legalized.

Similarly, 75 percent of Democrats, 63 percent of Republicans and 52 percent of independents in the new HuffPost/YouGov poll said they think gay and lesbian couples will be allowed to wed in more states by the end of the year. In another HuffPost/YouGov poll conducted in October, 65 percent of Democrats and 48 percent of independents, but only 24 percent of Republicans, said they actually want marriage equality. .......................(more)
