56% of N.Y. Voters Want Marriage Equality
By Michelle Garcia
A majority of New Yorkers say they would support legislation to legalize
marriage equality for gay and lesbian couples, according to a new Quinnipiac
University poll.
The recent poll, with 56% of New Yorkers in support of marriage equality in
their state, shows a five-point increase in support since a June 23, 2009,
poll. Fifty-four percent of upstate voters approve of gay marriage, which is
on par with those living in New York City, with 55% of that population in
support.
“New York State voter attitudes about gay marriage have shifted
dramatically since April 15, 2004, when Quinnipiac University first asked
about gay marriage and found voters opposed the measure 55%–37%,” Maurice
Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, said in a
statement Thursday. |
