A recent Religion and Politics Tracking Survey, conducted by Public Religion Research Institute, is the third national poll in as many months to find majority support for same-sex marriage: a slim majority (51%) of Americans now favor allowing gay and lesbian couples to legally marry, compared to 43% percent who are opposed.
The results of the three polls are remarkably consistent even though the other two surveys were conducted by different organizations (ABC News/Washington Post; CNN/Opinion Research Corp.) using different question wordings.
The percentage of white, mainline Protestants who support same-sex marriage is even higher: 55%.
A majority (56%) of Americans favor allowing gay and lesbian couples to adopt children, compared to 36% who are opposed.
