In a poll of about 1,000 U.S. adults, 71% of respondents said they back the right to gay marriage, beating last year's record by a percentage point.
In a survey of about 1,000 U.S. adults conducted last month, 71% of respondents said they support the legal right to same-sex marriage, beating last year's record by one percentage point. The findings are up from 42% in 2004, when Massachusetts first legalized same-sex marriage. Support reached 58% in July 2015, shortly after the Supreme Court ruled on Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark case that affirmed same-sex marriage under the 14th Amendment.
