ABC/Wash Post Poll: Americans split on gay marriage, but 54% of women favor

A new ABC News/Washington Post poll finds Americans divide essentially evenly in their responses to President Obama's new position on gay marriage, with 46% in support and 47% opposed.

Key findings: "Mirroring a wide gender gap in Obama's support more generally, 54% of women respond favorably to his backing of gay marriage, compared with 37% of men. There's an even broader gap by age - 63% of young adults favor the president's position, vs. 34% of seniors."
