LA TIMES Poll Shows 'Slim' Opposition To Gay Marriage

The Los Angeles Times published the results of polling of public opinion on last week's marriage equality ruling by the California Supreme Court and a proposed anti-gay marriage constitutional amendment.

The salient results are:


Do you approve or disapprove of the California Supreme Court's
decision last week to allow same sex marriage in California?

Strongly approve: 29%
Somewhat approve: 12%
Somewhat disapprove: 10%
Strongly disapprove: 42%

On the constitutional amendment...
For: 54%
Against: 35%
Don't Know: 10%

On the Court's decision...
Support: 41%
Oppose: 52%

Another interesting aspect of the poll is that Democrats (55% to 39%) and Independents (51% to 40%) support marriage equality while Republicans strongly oppose it (though no number was given). The margin of error with registered voters is +/- 4 points and +/- 3 points overall.
