California Gay Marriage Support Rises to Record in Poll

[Fearless]

Support for legalizing same-sex marriage in California has reached a record high as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to rule on the state’s ban next month.

Fifty-six percent of adults favor allowing gay and lesbian couples to wed, with 38 percent against, the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California said late today.

“The more that there’s been acceptable and legal change in other states, the more Californians have been accepting, especially among some of those groups that were strongly opposed,” Mark Baldassare, the group’s president, said by telephone.

...

Approval of same-sex nuptials has almost reversed since 2000, when the institute said its first survey on the subject showed 39 percent in favor and 55 percent against. Support reached 50 percent in March 2010. A poll in January found gay unions favored by 53 percent to 41 percent opposed.
