57 percent of Americans support marriage or civil unions for gays
A recent poll shows a slight increase in support among Americans for legal marriage rights for gay couples, according to the New York Times and CBS News. The poll by the two media groups found adults still are divided over how to formalize gay and lesbian couples’ relationships, but 23 percent of those polled say gay couples should be able to legally marry, a 2-percent rise since a November poll. The research found 34 percent of those responding support civil unions in concept, while 41 percent would offer no legal recognition at all to same-sex partners, the Times reported. Support for civil unions also was up 2 percent since last fall’s polling, and support for no recognition at all was down 3 percent, the poll found.
