jpmassar from Daily Kos has summarized the latest polls on marriage equality from around the United States and notes that in 24 states marriage equality has a significant lead in public opinion with 6 states being inconclusive or tied and 14 states solidly against (there is no recent information from 7 states).

It's fascinating to note that the 6 states where public opinion is basically tied are Florida, Iowa, New Mexico, Texas, Wisconsin and Indiana. Only one of these currently has marriage equality (Iowa), and only two are red states: Texas and Indiana. Of the 24 states that support marriage equality, 11 have enacted marriage equality which leaves 13 states where public policy does not reflect popular opinion: Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Happily, it is likely that California and Illinois may join the marriage equality states soon.
