The poll has run for several years with the exact same wording, asking voters,“Do you think it should be legal or not legal for same-sex couples to marry?". The results revealed less people are opposed to same-sex marriage than in previous polls.
The long-running poll showed 56% of Americans in favor of same-sex marriage with only 37% opposed to it. These numbers show a 3% drop in opposition since July of this year when 40% of Americans were opposed to same-sex marriage. Comparatively, the new numbers show a big drop in opposition from July 2012 numbers where 44% were opposed.
This news made me really happy. It's things like this that show how things are slowly but surely changing for the better for the LGBT community in the US. It's important to take notice of small stories like this to remember to always have hope for a better, more equal future.
