WELCOME TO PENNSYLVANIA X390 | ADVOCATE.COM
Half of the Pennsylvania adults surveyed in a new poll favor the prospect of
allowing same-sex couples to marry, putting state residents in line with
changing attitudes across the country.
The Towanda Daily Review reports on the Franklin and Marshall College poll
released Wednesday. In addition to the findings on marriage equality, the
poll showed even more support for civil unions, with 62% in varying degrees
of favor.
“The poll shows about a third (33 percent) strongly favor a constitutional
amendment that would allow homosexual couples to get married and about
another sixth (17 percent), said they would somewhat favor a constitutional
amendment to legalize same-sex marriage,” according to the Daily Review.
The publication continued, “That represents a sharp shift since June 2009,
the last time F&M asked about same-sex marriage. Back then, the results were
almost exactly reversed with a majority (52 percent) opposed to the
legalization amendment and only about two-fifths (42 percent) in favor. On
civil unions, 58 percent were in favor in 2009, while only 42 percent were
in favor in February 2004, an era when same-sex marriage played a key role
in the presidential election that year.”
In contrast to public attitudes, Republicans in control of the legislature
and governor’s office have expressed interest in passing a constitutional
amendment to outlaw same-sex marriage in Pennsylvania. A statute already
bars same-sex marriage, and the state lags behind neighbors including
Delaware and New Jersey that offer civil unions, while nearby New York
became the largest state with a marriage equality law over the summer.
The latest poll, of 525 Pennsylvania adults, was conducted in late August
with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.3 percentage points. | D**S

PA也是个有影响力的大州。
如果能够通过决定性的进步，那整个东北就差不多算解放区了。 | m******1

现在Repulican presidential candidates里最右的Rick Santorum就来自PA。
